I am starting to feel lucky -both patients showed up!! Yay. Both are Class 2 patients. I am struggling with taking xrays --go figure and I panic about how much I have to do and how fast time goes by. That's why I try to do digital xrays whenever possible. I DO NOT HAVE TIME to process conventional!!!

I am not very satisfied either with how long I am taking. I want to go faster but I feel pretty slow. I just couldn't get my 2nd patients calculus off and I don't know whether it's me or him.... I worry a lot about their comfort and I try to be gentle and then when the instructors help they use so much pressure that my instrumentation probably feels more like a tickle....:)

My patients will love me because I am so gentle......I won't pass boards, but I'll make friends :)
