CA 10-07-08

Today I was the CA. I was left to myself as Mr Solomon had meetings for most of the day. Needless to say I was a bit nervous to run the whole show. The morning went fine. In the afternoon we had a bunch of walk ins that I was able to find hygenists that needed patients for appointments. There was a mother who brought in an extra son to see if he could be seen as well. I consulted with the scheduled hygienist of the scheduled son, she was not able to see a second child as this would be a 3rd patient for her. I was on my way to let the mother know this would not work out today when I noticed another hygienist was finished and just doing paperwork. I asked her if she would be interested in a second patient. I told her I would help with tear down and set up of her unit to help make it possible. She agreed and I informed the mother it would be a few minutes then we would be able to see the second son. We were fast she seated the patient while a prepared the x-ray room for digital x-rays so she could move through her appointment quickly as it was close to time at the end of the afternoon clinic session. Our team work paid off and she completed the appointment in pleanty of time!! It was quite a busy session in helping several hygienist tear down and set up for second patients.. It was great!!
