Not a good day...
Well, I WAS ready to get back into the swing of things until my pt. called just before clinic to tell Mrs. Campbell she could not make her appointment. WHAT? I just talked to her 2 days ago. She was my mockboard from last semester, so i was excited to get her all finished up before she moves back to Mexico. I thought she was a reliable pt, but she cancelled on me once before also. Luckily my good friend Brieanne had the day off work and was willing to come in for me. Afternoon was looking good...confimed my pt on sunday night. 12:45 rolled around and he was still not in my chair. I called to find him and as soon as i said who it was he said "OH CRAP! I am so sorry, i am at work...i forgot." That amazes me seeing that i just talked to him 36 hours ago. Luckily (again), Brett was able to save my butt. So, there goes my 1B requirements for the semester! I'm glad i was able to fill my schedule on NO notice, but i just hope that Tuesday was not a sign of things that are to come. I was so bummed, i've never had pt's just no-show me without, but 2 in one day! Geez! C'mon people!

Girl you did have some bad luck! I think it is sweet that Brett was able to come-even after all the phone interference!! I am jealous that you have never had a no-show! Maybe now you have had all you are going to have and the rest of the semester will be great...even if we miss the Thurdsay crew;)

So good chatting with you lately! Got the goods in the mail today. Kinda slacked off- sorry! Leave in the morning so early and crash when i get home. It has been so busy lately. One thing i am tired of- hygienists who don't know or explain to patients what periodontal disease is. I can't tell you how many patients i have seen this week that need SCL/RP and have never been told that or why. Hello- there is no way that an 8+ mm gen pocket just pops up in 6 months eh? :)
Keep your chin up! You are doing great!! DONT WORRY!!!!! Take care! Jess
