almost snowed out!

Today I was really grateful when my patient showed up inspite of all the snow. I was nervous and felt a bit of a rush as I took his vitals and began to fill the HHx. I felt pretty good about the extra/intra oral exam but I know that I need to do it more thorough and yet faster. I also noticed that as in the OD check my probe depth were off more than usual. I need to slow down and make sure I have the right angle in there.. there is a lot to remember to check for and I think I need to make a mental check list so that I don't have to get in the mouth so many times and I can move to the next part quicker. My main goal now is to get an order/check list to follow mentally and be complete in my evaluations..
