Rain days and Mondays always get me down

It's raining today and it's a monday so I should have know it was going to be a rough day. So today I had a new patient come in. Everything was going fine. Until I came to a medication on his health history that I couldn't find. My instructors couldn't find and he wasn't sure of the spelling or what it does exactly. Then we got that straightened out and I asked if he wanted to take x-rays today since it had been about a year and a half. He then told me that he wouldn't have time because he just remembered that he had class at nine. At this point I was freaking out. He decided to try and get x-rays done but, when I went to take them he started jerking all around and I couldn't take them on him. He got mad and pulled the xray out and threw off the lead apron and slammed his glasses down and said they were to hard to take on him. I calmed him down and walked him out. Then I was scrambling to get at patient to come in. Luckly Kara saved my life and took time out from studying to be my patient and I was able to pass off my intraoral camera, sealant and diagnodent PE I also passed off my peer calculus PE. I owe Kara so big. After everything that happened today I'm just glad clinic is over.
