Late... Again???

Late patients make my world stressful!!! My morning patient showed up at about 8:45AM instead of 8 so I had to wait and wait and then when she came she was a II/III who needed a full mouth! It was great to get a full mouth series in but oh my gosh I had so much to do and this morning FLEW by! I got two quads and the x-rays done as wall as the root debridement PE. Yes!!!

This afternoon my patient of course showed up at 1:00ish and at first Alexander and I thought she was a class II but as soon as I sat down and started scaling I realized that she was no II. That was III-type calculus there baby! Yes!!! However, I also needed to get some BWX and do some LA on her which of course takes a lot of time on top of the lateness plus you have to factor in the fact that all the professors seemed to have their hands full when I needed them! Also for some reason my nerves were really getting to me, I was shaking pretty bad on the injections and they still didn't allow me to use the ultrasonic so I had to handscale the whole thing which just made me even more frustrated and got to me bad. My patient made a comment to me: "you seemed nervous, I could feel you shaking. How long have you been practicing?" (i said 1 year) and then she said: "you need to not let your nerves get to you, you're a very nice girl, don't get so nervous, you do very well." WHat a cute freakin patient! I really enjoyed working on her reguardless. I only got one quad completed on her and another one started but I did get 4BWX, 5 injections and 1 quad of a III!

Overall, it was quite a productive day! I got a lot done and it literally flew by, however, thank goodness it's over! I can't wait to go home and watch Transformers with Ben tonight. (thanks baby!)
