MOCKBOARDS!

Today was mockboards and thanks to Heidi I had a patient! She was so willing to share her patient with me once she found out I still hadn't found anyone that would qualify. My patient was awesome but yet very difficult at the same time. Heidi saw him for the morning session and he said that the anesthetic doesn't work on him... ok... we tried again anyway. yep he was right it didn't work :(  He kept jumping and twitching which made it really difficult to get him completely clean, but he was a good sport about it. He had thick rings of calculus around his lower anteriors which was SOOO tenacious! my ultrasonic took forever to get it off! And yet it was so gratifying to see the chunks of calculus fly off and the difference at the end.

I swear the VA only has class V's! Today was awesome but yep 8 more quads of class V. I saw the sweetest lade ever this afternoon! Not your typical lady vet. She was all dolled up and really looked like a high maintenance kind of lady. She was hilarious, she's a southern bell and I was a little surprised that she was LDS. She was talking all about the church and places she has lived. I started talking with her about things she likes and she loves health and wellness type stuff and especially beauty stuff, so ofcourse I had to tell her about Joy Life! She was so interested and so encouraging. I instantly felt like I had a bond with her. I could seriously just sit and hangout and chat with her for a long time. She honestly changed a lot of the way I thought of things. Amazing what you can learn from your patients and how they impact our lives!
