VA #5

Only 2 more VA days to go! ....What even happened yesterday? I couldn't remember my patients from the day as we were leaving the clinic. I did have a massive headache and was sweating to death though! I saw 2 different class III pts today. I got a FMX done in the morning and the pt was great! I always feel so bad when i do FMX, especially with the sensor on the digital xrays, that thing is huge! My afternoon was a little challenging and so i only finished 2 quads. My pt was ornery. I usually try to break the ice and get some conversation going, but that's kinda hard to do when you are the one doing all the talking! I think i was a little intimidated by him. Plus, the room i was in was like 98 degrees and i was SOO uncomfortable. I took bwx after scaling his right two quads. When kami came in to do my scale check she looked at the xrays (i hadn't really even glanced at them yet). She pointed to the xrays and said "what do you think about this?" Immediately i noticed the radiographic calculus deposits...and there were quite a few of them. MY STOMACH DROPPED. For a split second i knew i was toast, but then, i realized the deposits were on the left 2 quads, the ones i didn't get to! I told kami and then we just laughed because she could tell the absolute terror in my eyes when i saw all that deposit there! PHEW! She thought that was pretty funny! And then our whole VA group got a good laugh out of it at the end of the day when we were all sharing our crazy stories of the day. Well, it's a good thing the right side bwx looked so good! I actually felt like i had accomplished something!
