I start on Thursdays at South Bay, and today was so so exhausting. I got there about 5 minutes to 7 and the 7 am pt didn't show up. The day was super busy and quite a bit frustrating. Too many patients are not getting enough anterior x rays, and the echarts are not complete enough. If I complain, maybe I won't have a job. Is that a good thing? We have performance review next week and I am eager to hear what the staff have to say about me.
Lunch time even though the staff had time off, I spent most of the time writing charts. I saw Mia and Morgan Vargas in the afternoon and after I was done with Mia, Maria said a patient's mom called and that a patient was in pain. Turns out I had to take out #T with so much hyperemic pulp that it bled like crazy. The mom and Maria went on and on discussing about the tooth, and who should pay, and I just wanted to start work and get it over with. My cough was still really bad and I had to spit all day, and when the coughing spasm comes, I just can't help but cough and cough. I have been on steroids for three days now, and nothing seems to help. Last night I got up twice from coughing, but not too bad. Just seems like the day time I have a tickle in the back of my throat and I just need to cough and cough.
Will Weston still has not called me back and I have patients I need to see soon. Mary Fulbright called me today and wanted to see me. After talking to her she thinks Torrance is too far for her to drive soon so Dr Rees gave her a dentist that is right across the street from her. I told her I have known her half my life and if she needs to see someone closer, she should see someone closer and I will still be her friend. So nice to have patients that see you as a friend after all those years.
I got home about 5 after picking up the animal train from Eleanor Michael, around the corner. The Buy Nothing Torrance group is splitting up into maybe four groups as the member list is getting too large to have just one group. I am sad about that as I like many of the people I met that are in other areas, so it will be a strange transition.
I went to the YMCA and sat in the sauna and steam room and jacuzzi and walked in the pool for about 10 minutes.
When I came home, I had KR blew on the BAC and it was .06 which meant he was driving over the legal limit of .08 hours earlier. He had four IPA's today, and said,"he didn't think he was buzzed" And that from a drunk person, of course they don't I was pretty upset, but just need to pray more, as he is in God's hands. But I dont like to think that he is going to hurt himself or others by driving drunk, or hurt Gracie if she was in the car with him.
I went to bed early, feeling coughed out
