Stress, Stress, and More Stress!!!!

So last week we had spring break which was really nice. Last night however I called my patient to confirm his appointment and found out from his wife that he is sick. So at about 8:30 last night I started frantically calling people trying to find a patient. I came in this morning still with no patient. I was praying and frantically calling people on the resource list hoping that I could get someone to come in last minute. The clinic opens at 8 and at 8:30 a girl came into the clinic and said she needed a cleaning and x-rays. The CA asked her if she had an appointment and she said "no." They immediately told me and I got her back as quickly as I could. When it came time to walk out our pts I still wasn't done because I got started a half hour late. She was just a IB with a few cavities nothing major. So I told my instructor that I didn't really have time to get her back in for another appointment because they were all booked and asked for some extra time. She told me I could have 15 minutes I still ended up taking 30 by the time all was said and done. I think she docked me on my professionalism for going over time but honestly I still finished her in the same amount of time I just got started 30 minutes late. I was just happy that I got her done in one appointment.
