Today I found 2 possible board patients. I screened Cesar and 1 quad will qualify for boards and so while I was taking x-rays on him another pt. showed up, Adrian. So I had Shaniel screen him for me while I finished up with Cesar and Adrian qualified too! He has a couple of quads that may qualify so 2 people could use him! So I have a pt. and a back up hopefully. I need to get both guys back and get 2nd opinions to make sure they have enough calculus but I am just so relieved!
Yesterday I had a funny patient at the VA. My friend Holly had seen him last week and he growled at her and told her he was a panther, so I did not want to see him. But I ended up seeing him and he was super nice and friendly so I went ahead and started cleaning his teeth and out of the blue he roared at me! I just ignored it and tried to sit back away from him a little bit, but the rest of his treatment went fine. Some of these guys have serious mental problems, so you never know what you're going to get, but I haven't had any real problems so far. So I got 2 quads of a 3 and a 5 yesterday. I still need 4 quads of a 4, but I think I have everything else that I need scheduled. So I'm feeling pretty confident about graduating after today!

I actually know what you are takling about. I worked in a dental office as a dental assistant for 3 years and we saw a lot of different types of people (general dentist). We thought some would make great dental cases so we always referred them to the dental schools!
