I didn't know..
so i had a class 1b patient today. We have been told and instructed that we would only be able to accomplish to the od on the first appt and then do the quads on the next appt. I was going along and noticed that because everything was going so smoothly that I had a lot more time left. My prof told me that i would be able to finish and i didn't believe her. she came around 2x to hurry me along and when we had the scale check she was curious as to why i was taking so long. I didn't understand that I really was being too picky about what i was scaling. after i finished and the pt had left, she sat me down and explained that there is no reason to be scaling where there isn't calculus. we should just explore and when we find some we then remove it.. I really had no idea that this soon in the semester we would be able to sit a new patient and finish in the same day. I will be better prepared for my next patient and that is exciting!!
