No show patient!

Well today was no fun! My lovely scheduled patients decided upon arrival that they no longer wanted cleanings, they wanted extractions. Since they were two young girls...I had given one of them to Sheri for a cleaning....so both of us were out a patient! Needless to say we had to walk around campus for about 1 1/2 hours to look for a patient. Every single person we asked said that they were on their way to class and couldn't get their teeth clean...it was like listening to a broken record. It had snowed, so we were out tromping in the snow...it was such a joyous time in our lives! NOT! Anyway, they we came back in and passed off a few PE's, which we could have been doing all along, as well as helping our peers. I really hope that I never have to do that again, and I felt the worst because it was slightly my fault that sheri didn't have a patient! I felt so bad for her. Anyway...that was my fun day!
