I did an OD on one of the more complicated and periodontally involved patients that I've seen. I got flustered and made a ton of little mistakes which made me even more flustered. I had a very long HHX to go through and I messed up on my OD. I didn't need any retakes on my x-rays, so at least that was nice. Looking back I just should have 1) Taken a breather to calm my frazzled nerves and 2) Asked for more help with my OD. I guess I just feel like I have to go fast so that I can meet my requirements, but slow down so that I don't make any mistakes. Sometimes I feel like this guy...
Overall, I kind of left clinic today feeling like a total failure. At least I know what my goal for Monday will be... be better than I was today!
