Mockboard from H***

I think I can honestly say this was the most stressful day of the semester!! Once I got started on the cleaning I was fine, I think I was just nervous while waiting for the instructors to make sure my patient qualified. And I got LUCKY, my patient just barely qualified, even with adding 3 teeth from another quadrant!! So I was taking my time on the cleaning and making sure I felt confident that I got all the calculus off when I noticed everyone was checking their patients out. I kept thinking to myself I still have an hour, my checkout time ends at 11:50. But then it clicked and I realized SOMEONE put the wrong checkout time on my sheet, instead of uppting 10:50, they put 11:50! Oh and don't worry, I figured this out at 10:45 and I hadn't even probed!! I seriously almost had a huge breakdown!!! But everything worked out fine, I still passed with an 85 and that's all that matters :)

DARN COLDSORE!!

I love it when my class 3 pt comes in and has a huge coldsore on her lower lip. I felt so bad because she thought I gave it to her when I cleaned half her mouth last time. I tried to explain to her that she probably had the virus laying dormant and has never presented with signs until now, but of course she speaks spanish and she most likely didn't understand me. Luckily Kailene had 2 patients come in, so I was able to do the OD on her other patient. I guess it wasn't a total waste of a day.
