2nd patient of the semester 1/11/12

GOAL: Complete OD, 4 BWX (maybe pano), and do 2 quads if my patient is a IB.

Today went really well.  I was able to complete the OD with no complications.  I took 4 BWX conventional film, but no pano was taken because my patient didn't want one.  I found after the OD that my patient was actually classified as Class V.  I was nervous for this because I didn't know what to expect with scaling.  My instructor gave me the confidence to complete 2 quads and I was able to in 40 minutes.  I was really proud of myself and was definitely a confidence boost.  My patient was very sweet throughout the appointment and didn't cause me any problems.  She was very relaxed which helped me be relaxed since I have never worked on anyone I didn't already know.  I felt like today was a success.  Everything went smoothly unlike the last time I had clinic.
