Patients supplying you replacements...Awesome!

This morning I was suppose to see a patient that someone else couldn't see and his friend I've had him scheduled for like 2 weeks. He said they both get regular cleanings and it has been about six months since their last cleanings. I was figuring they were both 1B's and I could get them done in one appointment. However, Shalyce's patient didn't show so I told her she could see one of them if both of them showed up. They were late so I called and my first patient said that he wasn't able to get off work but his friend was still coming and he was sending someone in his place and he hoped that was ok....A Hello of course that's ok. How great is that? Usually your patients don't show, don't answer their phone and you are left calling eveyone you can think of to come in on short notice. Both patients ended up being a Class II so it was good Shalyce needed a patient. Also, my patient was a good mockboard so Hailey was able to take x-rays and have him come for her mockboard. I was able to clean 1 quad and do some injections it was a good morning. Then in the afternoon my patient that was suppose to be my first semester mockboard that cancelled on me the night before came back in. Shalyce's patient cancelled on her again and so she was able to she my patients daughter. He ended up being a class three so I declared him as an exam and was able to clean 2 quads and do more injections it was awesome.
