So this was the first time that my patient canceled on me. His ride called and said she was sick and really sweet about it, but finding a patient was nerve racking. I ended up going to the front desk of the clinic and a couple had just left saying that they wanted to get in. So I snatched them up and Kayla took the husband so they both were able to come in together. But the story gets better... They were second year students' patients. Ugh! So me and Kayla called them personally to make sure it was okay and they were fine with it, but I felt sick about taking them. Grateful that the second year students were okay with letting us taking them. Phew! They happen to be classifications that are hard to find so that make it even better. It was a challenge though. This was the first patient that didn't speak fluent English...it was tough to try to communicate and do OHI but I made it thanks to Mark! He was a life saver!
