I learned a new trick! :)

Today in clinic I finished 3 quads of a class V patient and passed off 2 PE's. I missed 2 spots on my scale check and was a little disappointed in myself when I found I had missed these two areas (OK I was REALLY upset). However, after talking to my Instructor, I found that I need to look at the positive in missing areas instead of the negative...my Instructor helped me to change my positioning so that I was better able to see the tooth and how I was adapting to it. Although it is never fun to miss areas, sometimes it is the BEST way to learn. If I had never missed those spots, who knows when or even IF I would had learned the different positions I did today. Plus, learning these new chair positioning means I am that much closer to refining/solidifying my skills as a DH - and that I am OK with! :)
