PHBTTTTTH

Ok, so I had my first mock patient today, and holly is a great patient, no calculus, not bleeding, no pathology. If only all of my patients could be like this! Things went really well today. I got through everything.

What a whirlwind! I am the worst hygienist ever! I had three scale checks and still some calculus was hiding. I may need to get my eyes checked! Gross! I love to scale, however, and thankfully I had the most patient patient in the world! I really am going to need a lot more practice, I am slower than poo! I cannot have another scale check like today, all three of them.
URGH!

Did ya ever see Seinfeld

Ok, so you know on Seinfeld and Kramer and the midget are actors for the medical students and they have to act out different diseases. And Kramer gets gonorrhea and he does so great at acting it out that when he goes back, they give him gonorrhea again, but he doesn't want it so he paints his face yellow and fights with the midget ab out having Jaundice?!?! Well it's great if you haven't seen it. Syncope (syncopay or syncopee), fainting, is charecterized by dizziness, decreased heart rate, and fits of laughter! Let's just say, I am not cut out for acting. It is definately not one of my strong points, so it is a good thing I didn't pursue that career path. Clinic weas great!

Seal

I liked doing sealants toady, they went really well. It is a whole lot easier to do them on an adult patient rather than a child. They don't wiggle as much, they keep their mouths open and they can control their saliva a lot better. Ahhh! Well yep that's all.

Bleah!

It's a great thing that we all got our daily intake of sodium, however, I would have liked to get it some other way than by the air powder polisher. Sick! French fries, corn dogs, heck, even the ocean is better than that crap we had to endure. I would never use that thing on someone that I liked! It is great for stains, I'll give it that, but not anything else. It is the most awful thing!

Yea!

I am finally caught up! Yea! No more sitting through boring clinic with only dextr to work on! That makes me so happy!

I'm Back!

I was really dragging today! I really need to look over how to scale on the posterior teeth, something I haven't done yet! It was crazy! I tell you what! I was totally lost today, I felt like I had been gone for about 2 months! But, the trip was totally worth it, I can catch up later!
