First day of SENIOR clinic!

Who better to have as your first patient back than your dad? That's right my sweet daddy came into the clinic to be my patient today.  Things started out a little rough.. First the computers weren't working for me in xrays so I took a conventional pano on my dad.. something must have been wrong with the sleeve because I had two radiopaque lines go right through it and ruin the image.. so I got to take it again!  The second time it worked, but there still were some lighter lines towards the bottom of the image.. but at least you could see the image. So after my struggles with radiology I barely had time to finish and OD and I will have to bring my  Dad (a freaking 1B) back to scale!!  Things didn't get much better for me in the afternoon.  My patient was someone that I screened at Midtown over the summer at the Women's Health Connection.  She ended up being a class V, but she told me that after xrays she didn't want to get a cleaning because she didn't have the money to pay for it all.  So she left early with only an OD.  I feel so frustrated.. I didn't get ANYTHING done!!  I hope this is not a sign of what's to come for the semester.
