Another day, another no show!

Today my morning patient no showed on me, but luckly there was an extra patient that arrived without an appointment. On this patient I found the importance of using the montanna jack on the line angles with the pre-molars. I usually do this with most patients but I decided to try more of a posterior instrument... but I missed a spot on both sides. So moral of the story, use the yellow one when in doubt!

As for the afternoon I was able to pass off my N2O PE. I was nervous to do this since I had not done this ever before, but it was not too bad, just have to remember to have them turn on the main nitrous so that your patient is getting enough!

Crazy day, but I am glad the sun is shinning so that I can go get some great rays tonight before it's gone in another snow storm!!!

My last CA day of the year!!!

Today I did my CA day at the VA! Weird to think that I will never do another one of these agian!

The major delemma that I ran into today was patients showing up... like usual. Last week no one showed up, and no one did much about it, I didn't even get a patient. Funny how this week the VA staff is running frantic to get us patients... ironic! Oh well, Im glad they started to.
