Another new patient
Today started off bad. First of all yesterday I called my patient to remind her of her appointment and she said she had to leave early. That was enough to make me want to cry. I knew I would have to hurry and do as much as I possibly could. Well, I got to clinic this morning, set up my unit, and was all ready for her to be early to fill out her HHx. Well, I waited and waited and waited. Finally she got here at 8:10 and she filled out her HHx. Waiting for here made me even more nervous and afraid that I wouldn't be ablr to get anything done. Well, I got her seated and I was grateful that she even showed up at all. Luckily she did not have a difficult HHx so that went really fast, her vitals were good to I got a signature and I was on my way. We decided to take 4 BWX, I was going to do digital but there was a long wait so I decided to try phosphor plates. I was way nervous to do these because I have no practice on them. Luckily Emily the TA was back there and she was tons of help. I was able to get through it without any retakes and it went really smooth. I was really impressed at the ease of the phosphor plates and I really like them and will definitely be using them in the future. So our appointment went on and I was able to get through the OD before my patient had to leave so I was happy about that. I was also able to get 2 sealants done on Kim's patient. She was so nice and offered to let me do a couple on her brother because she had already done some. So what started out to be a bad day ended up pretty good.

Those days are so much better than the ones that start good and end bad!!! I still need to try those things out, but I'm also nervous. Thanks for telling about your good experience to give me some hope!
