Stupid PE's

So today I had a class III that I did root debridement, ultrasonic, perio files, calculus removal, and extra oral fulcrums on and I didn't pass off any of those PE's. What is wrong with me? This afternoon I saw an easy IB and I was going to do my Eaglesoft PE, woops I took conventional x-rays. AH! I'm so frustrated. This is so stupid. I am so mad at myself. I hate when I get myself geared up to do a lot, and I screw it up. Dang it!!!

Mockboards:(

Mockboards weren't too fun. My patient was given anesthetic and he was still flinching everywhere, even when I wasn't doing anything that would be painful. And then I missed points on recession because I put 1mm and there was only .5. I didn't know we could even put half a mm on there. They said I should have put a 0. I missed points for missing one pocket depth too. He had a 10mm pocket. Woops, I think that was probably deeper than a 6mm to start with. Oh well. At least I learned what not to do now:) "It was a good experience." HA!

VA Again

I was able to get seven quandrants done of a class III in one day:) I was so excited. Thanks to whoever did the OD's on them. I think that one of the clinician's was my peer:) and the other worked at the VA. Thanks though! I love when I get things accomplished. It really makes for a better day!
