Last night my patient cancelled at 9:00 PM. Its happened a couple times this semester and it makes for a stressful night. I always tell tom...I may need you as a patient if my patient doesn't show up or i cant find one. I haven't had to use him yet. Well i called a list of people that i had written down off the resource list. None of them could come on such a short notice. I finally had one last number in the bottom of my back pack. A lady that i screened last week, (that i thought would qualify of mock boards but didn't) gave me the name of her niece who wanted a cleaning. I called and tried my best to talk to her in Spanish...turns out i am horrible. i had my dad call and she was able to come up!!! and she ended up qualifying for mock boards!!!!!! i was elated i only got an OD and x-rays done, $30.00 which i paid for myself but its worth it. I then saw a class II in the afternoon that was very nice and we now have her on a 3 month recall. Sometimes life works out in the strangest ways!
