Goals for today:
1. Try and clean all 4 quads
Well today I was suppose to have a lady from a couple weeks ago, who had the long health history, who got sick from wearing the glasses, and who didn't stop talking. Oh did I mention that she thought I was her best friend, and we had a big long discussion about how one of the most frustrating things being a student in the DH program is when your patients don't show up, and she said that she would never do that to me!!! Well she did. I called my patient the Friday before her appt. I left her and message and reminded her, then shortly after she called back and left me a message, saying how excited she was to come see me to tell me she got back together with her husband and things were great, and was excited to talk to me while she got her teeth clean. Well things changed Monday morning as she called an hour before and let me know that a dentist in her ward is going to finish her cleaning and fix her cavities for free!! What? Are you kidding me!! I was a little ticked and panicked. Who else was I going to find on such short notice? My husband! So I call my husband to see if he can leave work and come, which he could, but he told me to try calling my patient and tell her that I would pay for her to come, that I needed her for my requirements. So I do just that, I call my patient and tell her that I will pay for her,and that I really need her come. Well that didn't go over so well. She freaked out on me, saying she would never come back again, and that it took to long, and on on about different things. So anyways my husband was able to come in. I was able to finish cleaning off the left side of his mouth and I was able to pass off my selective polish PE. Then I was able to do a sealant on Jen's little brother. So the day turned out really well, just not what I had expected.
