Another day in clinic

So today I was hoping to find a mockboard patient, but no luck!!  What am I going to do??? One more clinic day to find one.... wish me luck!! Well my first patient was a good experience, she had some tough calculus to get off, which ended up being really fun to get off, but did take some work.  Love how it excites us to get calcus off!  My second patient was so easy a 1b.  Passed off a pe.  I need to get on top of doing pe's or else I am going to get behind.  Well until next time... and then mockboards!!!

Local Anesthesia

Wow, I am surprised at how much I loved giving injections, but I really did not like getting them.  I was so not looking forward to our LA labs, but now looking back I can't believed I was so worried.  I thought most of them were relatively easy.  They only thing that was a little scary for me was on the PA and the IA penetrating the needle to the sight of deposition was a little nerve racking! Overall both last Friday and this Friday labs were great!
