Another day in clinic.

This morining started out different. I didnt want to come to clinic because I dont really like clinic and I just wanted to be with my family after the death of the Prophet. CLinic went better though than it did last week. My patient was a 1B and I walked her out at 10:30. I was impressed with myself. this is good because as I get quicker at what I am doing I wll have a better chance of people actually coming in since they all complain about coming in for three hours. Hum.... well today will be an interesting day.

Oh gosh!

Today I am working on my first patient that I don't know. In all honesty I am nervous but at the same time I feel somewhat confident because my last patient went well. It was a wreck trying to get someone to come though. I had someone all lined up and they called yesterday and told me they couldnt make it. I was running around and calling people like a chicken with its head chopped off last night trying to get someone to come in and I finally got a patient confirmed at 9pm last night. I can tell this scheduling a patient thing is going to be the stress of my life and I'm EXCITED for it. Yea.


Oh man. That was interesting. I really liked my patient. He was super nice and very understanding of me. I was getting a little discouraged with scale checks and such. Sometimes it gets annoying to hear over and over there's something I missed, or I did the computer stuff wrong or something else. blah blah blah. I am sure it will all go away with experience. I wasn't expecting him to be willing to come back but he's comin back next wednesday so thats good! He was a 1B with some missing teeth and super old calculus. I'd have to say the thing, ok one of the things I find most irritating is that I cannot feel the calculus that the instructor does so how in the flippin heck am I supposed to know what to scale? Oh gosh. Whatever.

CA DAY

MOnday I got to be the CA. It was nice... I like being a clinician better but it was a relief because I was a lazy butt and didn't put anyone in my schedule over the Christmas break so it was good not to have to find someone to put in for Monday. Hum.... I dont have a whole lot to say about being a CA so I guess this is it.

WOW!

Clinic today was awesome! I thought it went very well. I feel like I accomplished a lot and my patient was awesome (and pretty ooo ooo too! Haha!) He was a 1B patient. I got two quads finished which was pretty sweet and I didnt even have anything noted on my scale checks!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm feeling like hot stuff. Haha. JK. But it was nice and a booster!

FIRST DAY BACK!!!

Wow! Its been a long break and now we are back at it again! I am excited for patients to start but at the same time I feel like I dont really know what I am doing so I kinda dont want to see patients. Oh well, I am sure with practice it will be awesome. We practiced our graceys which was almost pointless since neither the typodonts or each other had pockets that warrant a need for a gracey. Hum... what else? After this semester we are half way finished!! Wahoo! The sad thing is that I had to drop my Spanish class which I need so I can do more upper division classes in Spanish for my minor and bachelor's degree. That stinks and I am not happy about that. School takes up too much time but it will all be worth it in the end.
