1st Mockboards woot woot!

so wouldn't you just know it my mockboard patient cancelled on me the night before. First I couldn't get a hold of him is number was invalid so my parents drove to his house to see if he would be coming and he said he would but he had to get work off. My mom was suspisious of the way he was acting so she left my number. Later he called to tell me he couldn't get work off so he wasn't coming. I was so mad that he knew for a week about the appointment I told him how important it was for me and he told me he would be able to come but didn't bother getting work off. I was lucky that Denver had another patient that qualified. However I knew that ment it was going to be a long hard day. . I had never seen the patient before and I had no idea what I was in for. He had been screened and had x-rays so at least I knew what quad qualified and I didn't have to deal with taking x-rays. But of course he didn't understand a word of english nor had he ever had his teeth cleaned in his 75 years of life. It was a difficult cleaning he had calculus everywhere and some of it was so tenacious that I could feel it but nothing I did even made a dent. So I sent him to the examiners fully knowing I had errors. Kami examined him and came over to help me remove what I had left. she said she was way impressed with what I had accomplished because this was a hard patient and she knew what I had started with. She helped me and even tried herself. but alas we are still not sure that we removed them. It was a really tough challenge and of course I failed my mockboards. It was too difficult and I would never have used him for the real board but when your patient cancels on you the night before you get what you can and deal with it. Hopefully this happened now so that I wont have to deal with it on real boards. I'm crossing my fingers!
