Last Clinic Session

Today was my last day of clinic for the first year and I'm so excited to be done and get a break for the summer and hopefully not come back worse than I left for next year. Today went well I got a surprise quad of a class 2 which was good, he was just a perio maintenance patient but since he had some deep pockets with calculus in them the instructors decided to give me one more quad of a class 2 which I didn't need but it doesn't matter because I think everyone else had their's done. Hope next year I do better.

Last requirement

Today is such a relief to me. My last requirement I got done today so no matter what happens wednesday, I won't fail clinic! :) Today was my last 1A patient and they were so good. They had very litttle calculus except on the mand lingual anterios where they had an adequate amount. I felt like today went very well. I got her out of here early and I just really needed a day to go really good for once.

No show

Today my patient cancelled yet again. There were three of us from the family so it was way frustrating. I'm staying for the afternoon clinic session I suppose, and hopefully the afternoon goes much more smoothly then the morning did. I just have to keep telling myself that I'll get done. So we'll see.

two patients

Today was the first day I have seen two patients in one day and I was super stressed about it. I found that for my second patient I was way unorganized and it was just stressful. I got my second patient out late more because I was waiting for a scale check then anything, but I missed some calculus that I could plainly see on my xrays. And it wasn't just alittle bit of calculus, but alot and I spent tons of time on it and still couldn't get it completely off. My instructor really needed to help me. But look at your x-rays because as those of you in my clinic know, she pointed out my dumb mistake at pod wrap and I feel really really stupid.

running late

Today was the first day I was so late getting my patient out of here and i feel horrible about it. Everyone asked for a scale check at the same time so this was part of the problem, but i still feel like I was a huge problem for the professors and everyone. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but it just stresses me out worse than it would normally, so I guess I should look at my time more carefully next time.

Class 3

My patient today was an hour late yet again for his appointment so I was barely able to finish my 2 quads of the class 3 which is all i wanted to do in the first place. I am finally done with my perio and am so excited. I almost wish I would have more towards the end of the semester because I'm actually able to feel the calculus and do a better job with them. On the other hand it is SUCH a relief to be done so I'm not complaining, no I'm basically needing 1A patients.
