VA

Today was a crazy day at the VA. There wasn't a CA and 4 of us had 09:30 pts. Before I even had my chair cleaned up, Prof. Bossenberger had already brought another pt back for me. Today I realized how nice it is to have a CA there at the VA. Today I did 4 quads 1b, 8 quads V, 2 sets of BWX. My pts. were so easy today that I barely needed a scaler, but now I can kind of see how I could get done with a pt. in an hour in private practice. I was done with both my morning pts. by just after 10:00. I did learn a few things today. Even if it doesn't say that the pt. needs perio charting or x-rays always check and double check for yourself especially if the pt. is due for an exam! I checked and even wrote down when these things were done, but for some reason it didn't register that they were due today. Hello, it's 2009! I think that the dr. was less than happy about having to come back. Oh well, lesson learned. Only 5 more times at the VA. This semester is flying by. I guess I better start studying for boards. Oh yeah, one of my morning pts. asked if I was from Weber and I said yes, he said "I can tell, I like weber better than the other school." Ha! Priceless.
