So far I have seen my mom, Hali, dad, and Irma. My mom is the only one that I have finished so far. I am trying to get the hang of things. I think something that I need to remember is to have confidence in what I am doing. I don't know a ton... but I know enough.
Let me tell you of my struggles as of right now and maybe when I look back on this in a few months I can check off that I have mastered my struggles.
1. Probing sucks! Visualization is rough with that!
2. Marginal redness... very very rarely see it, even when it is pointed out to me.
3. Perio statement! Rough!
4. How the heck do you do a horizontal stroke in the LR quad?
5. My hands get fatigued!
6. I lack the grace that seasoned RDH's have. I am so jealous of that! I tell my hands what to do and they just can't figure it out!
7. Boneloss on radiographs.... can't figure that out either.
8. S-L-O-W I am so darn slow!! I feel like a dork!
9. I am constantly rolling around in my chair trying to figure out how to visualize everything.
10. I've got back posture!! I think I bend over a lot!
11. My mind is way too full to even think about figuring out TalEval.
12. Fulcruming is difficult too. Now that I am removing calculus it is imperative to have a good fulcrum in order to get enough pressure. I need to work on fulcruming.
I will stop with the negativity now. Sorry to be a downer!! It may not seem like it from this post, but I am loving school this semester!! Clinic is so so darn cool!! Super rough and stressful, but so fun!!
The end for today.
