Lab

So this morning we had a lab where we learned about wheelchair transfers, emergency situations, desensitization, and velscope. It was pretty interesting. My tonsil showed up super red under the velscope! Makes sense cause I was sick a few days ago. Thank heavens thats over! The emergency situations thing really helped I needed a review for sure! Wheelchair transfers was funny. I got to be pushed and push people around in a wheelchair for a bit. Then we transfered each other from the wheelchair to the dental chair. I was a patient for a bit it wasn't too bad at all. Eventually we had Mr. Solomon come in so we could get an idea of how it would really be to transfer someone. I was the only one who transferred him. It was pretty funny everyone was watching me. It wasn't too bad. I think I got the hang of it.
This afternoons patient was half class 5 half class 3. I applied oraqix for the first time that was cool. Not too difficult, it seemed to help. She had a hard time with the ultrasonic though. The water was a bit much for her. Luckily I was able to pass off a few PE's and get her done. Some days I feel fast other days I just dont know. Today was one of those slow days I think. Sometimes I just want to forget about all the stuff we have to pass off and get checked and just go to work on my patients. I know that stuff is necessary, but I'm anxious to just get out there and treat people! One day Ill be ready. Its so amazing how much I've learned! This has been one amazing journey!
