Oh my gosh! I'm so glad that today is over! I don't know what's wrong with me but it's like my mind is gone and all my clinical skills with it.
This morning I had a class IV!!! the first I've ever seen, with the most mobile teeth I've ever seen. I got two quads cleaned on him with only two errors and it only took me 45 minutes! I was feeling really good about myself because my patient had been rather difficult to deal with, his calculus wasn't bad but he would not stop talking!!! No joke, I had my gracey in his 9mm pocket and he was still talking to me. And some of what he was saying was very inappropriate and made me and even Professor Alexander very uncomfortable working on him. Of course, he has to be a class IV so I can't help but see him again... dang requirements! I guess that's how the working world will go though.
I called Ben to meet for lunch and he happened to be working so I was on my own. I remembered that I had a hot pocket in the freezer but soon after realized it was missing which didn't really surprise me. I decided to eat the clam chowder in the locker which of course exploded all over me and the locker room when I tried to open it. Aagh!!
My afternoon patient came... and so did her husband. Luckily Staci's patient had a cold sore so I gave the husband to her which of course was a class III... oh well. My patient ended up being a class III as well and might serve as my mockboard patient for the first test. Hopefully all goes well. However, Kami pointed out that once again I was fulcruming incorrectly, and leading with the heel instead of the toe of the instrument. I kept forgetting little random things like writing down the spots missed for Kami, and filling out certain papers, and even including BWX on my treatment plan. WHO AM I? and WHERE HAS THE REAL DENVER GONE??? Hopefully she comes back quickly because I don't know how long I'll be able to make it like this. Thanks to very forgiving and helpful professors that are here to try and steer me back to where I should be.
