endooo

today started off a little iffy. fyi it's gonna be some dental talk right now, so feel free to skip over to the next paragraph; this is more just a ramble. then again, all i talk about is dental or emotional blahs, so... enjoy? so i had a patient show up who i had started an endo (root canal) on last week, and this tooth traditionally has 2 canals, one in front one in back. so i found the back canal and was having a hell of a time trying to find the front one. and the way the canals are spaced, they are basically equidistant from the center, so proportionally the back one was in the right place, because otherwise it would be like one canal straight in the middle of the tooth. anyways, i temporized the tooth because i was going crazy and it was taking too long, and so he came back. so then today i go to town and start searching again, and i'm like okay dude. wtf. couldn't find it, so i caved and sent the pt to a specialist to take care of it. and so i was bummed. extremely bummed :(
i was like wtf, why am i so incompetent? this is a procedure i enjoy doing, and it's bothering the hell out of me. blah blah, i continue on with my day. then i surface from the rooms after a couple hours and i see there is a message left to me from the specialist, and i'm thinking oh fuck, i fucked up the tooth and the dr is calling to chastise me and tell me how shitty i am. i run around doing other stuff, and one of the assistants is like "did you hear about that tooth?!?" and i'm like "umm i saw they called..." and she's like "yeah! there wasn't another canal!" a;dslfkja; WTF???? ;ALDKSFJAS;LFJ; UGGGHHHHHH!!!! i worked like crazy and lost my confidence and all that good stuff, and there wasn't even a damn canal there! i followed the rules of the tooth and the rules of symmetry, and the damn thing double crossed me. well then. confidence and faith in myself came back, and thus i have one positive on my side for endo. yay :) and i met the new dr who i'll be working with, he's nice and all, but super chatty. like chatty to the extent that i have to put solid effort into escaping him to go tend to my patients.

anyways. so now i'm drinking my reliable beer and watching tv. good times. actually i think that was all i had to say. i love the staff at the pimp office. the girls are people i could hang out with, at least the back office girls are. they are younger and more my speed. and my patient from school in sf sent me a holiday card with a gift card and some chocolates. this is my 73ish year old patient, and he is awesome. love that man. fortunately i had sent him a gift too, shipped on friday, so hopefully he gets it tomorrow. i'll call him in the morning.

nothing otherwise. tomorrow will be a long night. gotta make some nice chocolate covered popcorn for the staff at the office, sort of as my peace out gift to them, because they are nice and all, and it's holiday time, and i want to use up my stash of candy melts and popcorn. suppose i'll get on that now, since i have energy. i'll get more beer though to entertain me as i play in the kitchen.

yay dentistry. today was a good dental day. and then comes tomorrow.
