First blog post of the last semester of my life... maybe. :)
- I wanted to start out kinda easy so I had my brother come in today. I was pretty scared about starting up again. I did a really good job of planning out the appointment though so I wasn't too scatter-brained. I passed off the Velscope PE as well as the Caries Risk Assessment PE. Woo! 2 PE's on the first day of clinic!
- For the Velscope PE Prof. Perry helped me to remember the major areas of the mouth for oral cancer. #1 Posterior Lateral borders of the tongue and #2 floor of the mouth. All of the other areas tie for 3rd such as buccal mucosa, tonsilar pillars, vestibule. Good thing to know!
- As I was cleaning my brother Prof. P also taught me a new place to set my gauze and how to wipe it to save time. Place it on the neck and use my middle or fulcrum finger to wipe the face of the instrument, not the tip!
- 20 minutes for probing is TOO long!! Dern!!
- The papers go in the chart... white, green, blue!! Am I color blind?? NOPE!
- I started my eaglesoft pt today... I hope that she shows up next time I schedule her so I can really use her for it!
- My afternoon pt cancelled this morning so I puttered during afternoon clinic... this better not happen very much more often!!
