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.
