GOAL: Finish 2 quads Class IIACTUAL: Finished 2 quads Class II
I was able to get this patient from Kelsi. She was able to clean half of her mouth but didn't need the other 2 quads to fulfill her experience in clinic and didn't have room to see her. I was garteful for this because I knew this patient wanted to be completed, and I didn't have to work really hard to find her.
Unfortunately, this patient was really jumpy today and sturggled with the slow speed suction. She got water , literally, all over her face, head, hair, chest, neck, etc. I tried to explain how to use it to avoid this, but I don't know if she was just anxious today and couldn't comprehend what I was saying or if she has a hard time controlling her tongue. Either way, this made the appointment very difficult. When I would ask her if she was okay, she would always respond yes but still jump. I am so glad I only had to do this for 2 quads instead of a whole mouth because by the end I was getting very frustrated!
When I got done, I talked to Kelsi about it, and she said her experience with this patient wasn't like mine at all. This didn't amke me feel good about it. I hope the patient knew I was trying to be kind. I did the best I could.
