Hey Everybody! Well, anybody that reads this. Today's clinic was interesting. I quite enjoyed it! We got to learn all the positions for viewing a patients mouth as well as how to fill out a health history. We also got our own charts. I decided today that there is a lot to remember. I also decided that I'm not going to stress about it because I'll get it all down eventually. I accomplished two of my goals from last time. One was to write on this blog day of clinic and the second to make use of the extra assistance I get on Monday's with the TA's. As I said, both goals accomplished. I was able to pass off three PE's today, almost four, and as you can see I am writing this blog on a Wednesday rather than a Thursday. Excellent! I really appreciated our lesson about posture. I have pretty poor posture, but I'm trying to break the bad habits. I'm a sloucher for sure. I'm not so sure about getting the magnifying glasses. Oh, I guess you class them loops. Anyway, that is a huge expense and I'm not sure if I need them yet or not. I think they are a good idea, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much money on them. I'll think about it I guess. I'll have to talk to other people and see what they plan on doing. I'll have to take a good look at them when I go to conferences. To sum it up, I felt pretty good about clinic today. I feel like I got a lot done as well as learned a lot and as always, it was a blast!
