interesting afternoon

Last week's morning appt was a stress. The pt couldn't find the parking pass ticket box and ended up being more than 45 min late. we rushed to get her started and in the chair. her 4bwx went smoothly-we took a supplimental to get the very back of a 2nd molar. then she was dx as a class 2. Because i know this pt is reliable, i made it my exam pt. it went pretty well.. i did miss some spots which is hard to take sometimes. My afternoon pt was a 16yr old and her mother was my pt in 3 weeks. after several conversations about fees and bleaching, i went to set up the xrays and came back to see that the office manager had given the mother to another student without any consent of mine.. I was furious and it showed in my scaling of the daughter. the mother ended up being a class 2 which is what i needed. During all this, I also had a first year student observing the clinic session.. she learned a lot!
