Beastly Day!!

Well, today royally stunk! I was totally off of my game and I was not focused at all. My board patient came back this morning and I was able to finish two quads, so he only has one left. He is a tough patient and I missed a few spots today, but the good news is, Marilyn checked the quad I was working on and she only found one spot! That's always a plus! Lets hope the board examiners find the same thing.
My afternoon patient was a new patient and she ended up being the toughest class III I have ever had. One of the teeth had three individual radiographic clicks! I was only able to get one quad done and I was working forever. I am physically exhausted! Don't worry...next week I will be doing the exact same thing. Board patient in the morning...difficult patient in the afternoon. I must be crazy! I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars that all of these class III patients are streaming in.
Aside from being a crazy hard day, I was able to accomplish a lot. I refuse today anything tomorrow! It is my birthday and I am going to relax!!!

Speedy Gonzalez!

This morning I saw two patients, count em...TWO! The first pt only had two quads to finish and my second patient was Michael, but I'm still quite proud! ha ha My first patient this morning had nitrous and local anesthetic. She was a joy to work with and we were able to get her out of here at a decent time.
I wanted to get Mike in before I graduated because he doesn't have dental insurance. That and he needs his teeth cleaned before the wedding! ha ha His appointment didn't last long.
By the time this afternoon rolled around, I was ready to be done. My patient this afternoon was half class two and half class three. I was only able to complete the left side today, but that was fine with me! I need to start packing all my supplies for boards! Egads! Can you believe this is my last clinic day before boards? I can't believe its here!! AHH!
Deep breaths Karlie, this will be over before you know it!
