Today at the VA Clinic I only had one patient, since the other "no showed", but it's starting to frustrate me that I take so long to finish a patient. I have struggled with this and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I need to cut my time in half and I feel like its never going to happen. I don't miss calculus that often, but when my scale time is over an hour, it's unacceptable. Sometimes I feel like I'm not cut out for this, but then I remember that I'm not a quitter. I just need to put more trust in my work and not scale every mm on every tooth, especially when I've used the ultrasonic before. I just feel like I'm letting down my patient and my professors when I miss something. I just need to find a balance.
Mark, out.
