excusing patients

So this afternoon I had my mock board come in to complete her other 2 quads, but she was excused because she had a cold sore on next to her nose. I almost didn't notice it I thought originally it was a sore from rubbing the nose when you get a cold. I called another patient who got here in less than fifteen minutes, she too was excused, not because she had a cold sore but because she had uncontrolled diabetes. I had to test her blood glucose and it was 286, and we can only treat patients who are under 200 so today was an unlucky day.
