Mock Patient Day

Today was mock patient day, and I was so relieved to be the clinician first! I am able to get it over with! Amanda will be my patient for the week! I am so grateful for her! She is always so patient with me and gives me some good feedback which I appreciate!

I was a little more nervous then I thought I would be, especially because I've already worked on Amanda. But I made sure I got to clinic early enough to get set up and have some extra time to just relax. I only had to get through an OD appointment today which made me relax a little!

When the time came to actually get Amanda back I felt like I was all over the place! I just tried to keep a smile on my face and hide that fact that my heart was pounding a million beats per minute! After about 20 minutes into the appointment I started to calm down and felt more comfortable. Probing still takes my whole life to do! I don't think I will ever get faster at it! But the good news was that I still remembered how to do it and I felt pretty comfortable with it as well! :)

I was able to get through the whole OD appointment and scale one quad! Which was a bonus! Plus I didn't miss any calculus! Another success! I'll see Amanda on Wednesday and finish her up and get my last PE passed off! Which is fantastic! I can't believe how fast this semester went by and that in a few weeks I'll see my first patient!
