Real Patient...Part 2

Today i finished scaling Kelly's teeth and finished his whole appointment. I feel okay about it, i was shocked that i had no missed areas of calculus removal. Kim is the instructor for my pod and i just love her! So kelly's gums were bleeding a ton and i hope it wasn't that i suck that badly, i am hoping he just has really bleedy gums. When i panicked, he kept assuring me that i was doing soooo good...and let's be honest he has to say that, but it did make me feel good. :) TalEval is taking some getting used to, but i am happy about the way were are going to be graded from now on, it seems less intense. My goal for this weekend is to practice scaling. I need to find out which tools work best for which patients, because today i wanted to throw the Barnhart across the room, its too fat to work with!!! All in all, today was good i am just so nervous to be working on anyone except my lying husband. However, I am comforted to know that we are all in the same boat here, i don't know what i would do without those 29 other girls in the program with me!
