Good day in clinic.
So today was a very good day in clinic for me. I had a patient come back that I had done an OD on last semester, and scaled two of her quads that were a 3. I was also able to give her anesthetic, and she qualified to be my mockboard! My afternoon patient had canceled last night so today when I came to clinic I was able to schedule someone. She ended up being a class 5 patient so I used her has my last exam. She hardly had any plaque and was extremely clean. She was missing quite a few teeth, and told me that she had to learn the hard way before she started to take care of her teeth. Janel had some patients that also needed sealants, so I was able to complete the last sealant that I needed for this year. Hopefully my patients will show up next week, at least I won't worry about needing a mockboard, that is a great feeling. I had been getting discouraged these past few weeks since many of my patients had either now showed or canceled. Today made everything better! I just always tell myself that in the end it will all work out.

Glad that you had pts. today. I know how bad it sucks when they don't show up. Yeah for finding a mockboard.
I am glad you had a good day. It's so much more fun when your day ends up being productive. I need to have a day like that pretty soon. I am so glad you found your mock board. It's such a good feeling, not being stressed about at least one thing.
Yay! That is such a huge relief. I hope your patients start showing up. I just need to find some patients...
Cute picture of you and your spouse. I agree, it is difficult to stay positive when you can't control whether your patients shows up or not. I am glad that you got some LA experience. Some students have struggled with that.
