The end is in sight

We only have FOUR more clinic days, awesome. Today I finished my grandpa, who I did an OD on the second clinic day. I love him, he is so patient. I worked very hard on my indirect vision today. I have been trying to stop ruining my ergonomics just because I struggle with indirect vision. It is getting much easier, I will keep at it until it is second nature. I also learned something about the daylight loader.
First: just shove your hands in. Do NOT try to stretch the hand things over your glove, Infection control people.
Second: Do NOT take your hands out until the x-ray is completely in the machine and the little light stops blinking. I may have, and by that I mean I did, ruin not one, but TWO pano's. Yes I am brilliant. Thank you Stephanie for taking time to help me figure it out.
Accomplishment today: Daylight Loader mastered, tray stayed clean, still improving on indirect vision
Goals for next time: Two patients, two quads each. Indirect vision. Don't take so long on plaque removal, I am over instrumenting
