I was not able to do any cleaning on my pt this morning, but I am ok with that. I feel that due to her medical history I needed to go through it with her and be through. I was also able to get 4bwx and a pano, which is going to come in handy. I did have time to do one quad but I did not what you rush or go over the time and keep her longer.
I decided that I am going to share my patient, due to the fact that I believe it is unethical of me to keep her to my self. I am not able to see her again for four weeks, which will prolong her treatment. I also know that I will not be able to get her all done that day too. I am also helping a peer (or two) with providing a pt for mock boards. I hope all goes well.
Unfortunately I had to bring my pt back again the next day to take more x-rays :( in order for her to be a patient for mock boards.
My afternoon pt I felt like I was not very sympathetic. I was told she was a drama queen (she was) and that she talks a lot (she did). I was more focused on the treatment and getting things done. Now looking back and reevaluating I do not think I would change. I think some times it is needed.
