"Hey there, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you wanna know what you've gotta do?"
Today didn't go as planned AT ALL.. but thanks to a couple of amazing people who went out of their way to help me, I got through it. Last night while I was pondering on what my goals would be for patient treatment today, I came accross one that really ended up coming in handy!
1) Don't get flustered if something goes wrong, just keep on going!
After my patient was almost 15 min late today, she told me that she could only stay for an hour and 15 min! After getting my HHX/Rx signed, I called my emergency patient and asked her to come save me, and to arrive about 9:20. I got my patient past the OD before she had to go (just barely) and my emergency patient was out in the lobby waiting. The clinic assistant and the CA (Kayla.. you're amazing!) were right there to help me, tearing things down and helping me get things ready for the next patient! Thanks to them I had my emergency patient in the chair in no time and even got to get x-rays on her!
Did I get flustered? Yes. Did I have a heart attack? Almost! Did I keep going? Yes! So I guess I will call today a success. :)
