My goal for the day was just to make it through the day! I woke up not feeling well and I didn't go to work but I'm terrified to miss class because it seems that in the past I always miss the most important days! I got here and I've felt fine! (except for my brian hasn't caught up to speed! Today I put my typodont in the chair upside-down! I felt like such a fool! ;0))
Today in clinic we did extra oral exams and it was pretty cool! I haven't every had an extraoral exam done to me before but the whole idea make so much sense! Its just another way that I can help people which is what is so rewarding about this profession! I can't wait till this time next year when I'm doing it all. We also got to get in a mouth today with instruments (ok, so it was just a mirror and explorer but it was way fun!... and awkward but I'll get used to it). I can not for the life of me sit up staight! I don't think I ever developed those muscles because I've had bad posture my entire life!
I also got to pass off two PE's today (patient positioning and vital signs). I did well, but I'm finding the patient to operator language hard! There are just so many things that I shouldn't say such as (hurt, the way we treat you, and being careful with my reactions when something isn't normal.) I also have a hard time using normal terms for body parts like clavicle/collar bone.
