All done.....with V's and 1bs.
Today was a good learning day for me. Even though my patients were so sweet and so kind, I still was able to improve my scaling skills. i missed a spot in the interproximal space on 24. Seriously you dont realize how easy we skip spots like that. Professor perry told me it was a tight spot and a hard one to get, he showed me how to angle the instrument further to the tooth in order to really get it. See even as a second year I am still learning and improving. I love second year clinic alot more than first year! First year is not fun! I guess its just a different kind of fun. haha. Some of the first years came in to do their observation and it was weird to think that just a year ago i was right in their place. Hearing them stress over all that was due and the exams made me laugh. Its kind of nice to be over that hump. But second year is a different kind of stress and i prefer it over last year. I always tell myself when i feel like its too hard or impossible, that "This too will pass!" Haha and thats what keeps me going! So those are my words of wisdom....this too will pass. You got this!!!(pep talk for myself!)

Agreed! This too shall pass should be our motto! I have had crazy clinic experiences with not being able to see a patient, having them cancel last minute, and then of course having them not show!!! I think that missing a spot or making a mistake of some sort really is a good learning experience because then you pay more attention next time.
