mock board miracle
Last week was mock boards. At 3pm the day before, I was crying to my husband because i still didn't bave a pt. By about 5pm, a fellow classmate called to say that someone was coming in at 8am to be my pt. I was relaxed and happy. I got to clinic the next morning a tad late and felt super unorganized. By 8:15am, that pt still hadn't shown up. I was panicking inside. Prof Alexander said to start calling people to be my pt in the afternoon. As i went to the locker room, i could feel tears starting. Luckily, Camille came up and told me to find a pt in the foyer of Midtown. I was doubtful but I went out and told the three men there my story. The 26yr old said that he could stay as long as i took a pano on him. I gladly agreed and we got started... I sat him in the chair and realized with only being in the mouth for about 20sec that this kid was going to have plenty of calculus for me to remove and might even qualify for Boards!!!! I rushed him to be checked and he QUALIFIED!! everyone was amazed.. The calculus seemed to come off with such ease-we were chatting and laughing together and pretty soon i was finished and had 30 more min to go. I probed and then sent him on to be checked again.. oops.. i didn't do any of the paper work!! I only missed 3places of cal. and with having no xrays and no probe depths i felt good about that. I got my score back.. 72/100 wow.. that was exciting to know even when i didn't do the paper work. that was a great experience and i felt that this pt was a miracle.. ps.. the pano turned out great too.
