We Left The VA Before 3 PM!!!!

Oh, today was such a wonderful day!  I had two patients in the morning and none in the afternoon.  I had 4 quads of a class V, a pano, BWX, 2 PAs, passed off the subgingival irrigation PE, and placed Arestin.  On top of everything I have hooked my 4 VA buddies on crocheting.  I spent part of our lunch teaching them how to crochet.  What a wonderful hobby I have them "hooked" on.  Do you get it?  Hooked?  Crochet hook.  Oh, never mind!  Lame attempt at being funny.  I had a terrible headache after lunch, so I was more than happy to not have a patient in the afternoon.  My four friends did a great job of getting finished with their patients super early.  So, I just played the role of clinical assistant in the afternoon and got everyone's rooms cleaned so that we could go home.  We were out of there before 3 pm and home by 3:35!  Now this day has set the standard of what we are going to shoot for every VA day.  Our group also has only 2 VA days left!  You bet I am counting down!  I can't wait to not have to leave at 6:45 in the morning to be down there by 7:30.  I will never work in an office in SLC.  I love the convenience of working close to home.  Let's just hope one of the dentists by me is hiring in May.  Something I learned from today was that I need to take advantage of my air.  I have gotten out of the habit of using my air to check for supragingival calculus.  I missed one tiny spot on the straight lingual of 25.  I must remember to do that especially with boards coming up in about 2 weeks!  YIKES!
