Weird day...

This morning, my patient showed up late and it was my patient that has a difficult time getting numb... Of course, who would be my instructor? None other than the very slow, instructor snow who doesn't seem to enjoy giving ample anesthetic! Woo hoo! ...yeah, I was worried, but she actually was a lot faster this time and she used more LA this time than she did last appt. however it still wasn't enough so I took it into my own hands and decided to use some Oraqix that helped out a lot, but not quite enough. Oh well, I still didn't do too bad despite my patient's sensitivity.

In the afternoon, it was most interesting because I remembered that I had accidentally told my pt that her appt was at 1:00 instead of 12:30 and when my original patient who had cancelled the night before showed up saying he had until 2:30 if I still wanted him but I just said I'd reschedule because my afternoon patient was a hopeful mockboard. She was! I found a mockboard to replace the one I found last week that was a class three who had never been cleaned. Instead she was a class II who hadn't been cleaned in 2 years so she had calculus but it shouldn't be overly tenacious... yes!
