one must be strong

to survive in my dental school....

today extra session:
- so many students but only a few tutors seen! terpaksa go to one that is famous for her favouritism since the others not around yet (well, she passed me on to another as she needs to stay with her own group, fair enough)
- tried in the crown, still high @@
- disinfect 10 min (but a kind nurse J helped me to do 6PPC instead, at least saved some time while waiting for disinfection)
- went to the lab (mrs B very kindly lead me to the boss of the crown and bridge lab, that reli saved me alot of trouble, and he said to go to the 'boys' next door for polishing work after i tried and adjusted chairside)
- before i can start adjusting, i had to get the Iwanson gauge from the store, and none of them know what it is @@ so I hv to drew it on a paper, spelt out the name and then describe what it is for - actually they dun reli know the name jsut call it divider then =.=
-  adjust abit, yay finally it fits, although stil a fraction higher but polishing shall do the work for me
- disinfect again n 6ppc
- went back to the lab, apparently i think A hates me, when i asked for his help, he said 'no' and asked me to go to C and went to another tutor, at least C's kind enough to refer me to another room, but it's still a 'no', so ended up in the crown and bridge room and the guy J directed me to the machine, and showed me the two stones, ROSA and ROUGE, apparently they are latin words, meaning pink and errr cant rmb, and then asked me to read the instruction on the wall and do it myself, i was arrgghh panicky, oredi 4pm! oh well, conclusion is i ended up polishing the crown on my own and i think i did a pretty good job (still thank to guy J i appreciate waht he's trying to teach me).. tip is: rubber all the way!! of cos the two stone-like objects as well, and the steam wash lol nearly burned my finger the second time forgetting that steam is hot
- back to clinic again and gonna cement it and omg cant find aquacem!! finally a nurse found it and mixed it for me, one whole floor and there's only one aquacem, i wana faint
- cemented and all is well
- went to let tutor check, and he siad what do u think do u like it u know u hv to be more confident....................................... lalalalaa, i know i did what i can, but i hvnt qualified, whats with the confidence thing, i stil need someone to check my work and then tell me it's fine then i can be confident!
- 15 mins left, quickly hand scale my patient's tooth, jsut tht particular front one tht bleed quite a bit and with obvious calculus (cant stand seeing calculus, always feel like scraping them away)
- the pooofff pt gone
- the only reassuring thing is the head tutor said he signed me up although i stil hv to do that 2 more crowns, but at least, i jsut try to do as much during extra clinic and wori about it after exam then
- oh and they ran out of slow handpiece and pros trim stand today,pooohhh what happened to here, and C very kindly reserve hers for me but she ended up needing it but at least she reli reserved it for me
