Last Day of Clinic!

So today is the last day of clinic and I can hardly believe it! This morning I saw a new patient that was a 1B and was able to take my last set of scanx bwx. She was a pretty easy patient so that was nice. This afternoon I am having my board patient come in so I can retake a few x-rays. I feel bad for making her come in mulitple times, but I guess its better than failing x-rays. She seems to be pretty reliable, so that is good. I still get nervous though from hearing about all the horor stories of patinet not coming. I am just trying to be positive and I know that everything will turn out the way it is supposed to.

LA mockboard

So today was LA mockboard and things went okay. I had trouble with the angle on my PSA, but the IA went pretty well. This afternoon I was able to finish 2 quads of a 2 for Michelle. He needed anesthetic so I was glad that I got to practice the PSA a couple more times. I just hope that I can get the hang of it before the actual board. I cannot believe that there is only one more clinic day left. This semester has gone by so fast. Well not much more than that to say.

Finished with requirements!

So today I got finished with all of my required quads. I still have 2 more PE's and a pano but other than that I am finished! This morning I finished a patient who I started a few weeks ago. He was half 3 half 4. He needed LA which is always nice to practice. In the afternoon, I saw two cute little girls who were 3 and 5. They both did really great and even let me take x-rays. I am glad to be done with my quads, it is such a relief. I also found a board patient on Friday! She should be pretty good, and has no interproximal restorations which is a huge plus. She speaks Spanish so that makes me a little nervous, but I am trying to have her husband come and translate for us. Hopefully he can!
