guess today was eventful enough to blog about! saw a yellow file patient, and got to play pool for the first time in like forever.
Dr Thean had some yellow file patients arranged for RP today. these are the comunity patients who dont have the cash to pay for NUS Student treatment even, a lot of the work they do is free of charge, except for, as i recall, fixed prosthetics. and these guys all needed stuff done. they came in in various states of treatment, from try-in of wax dentures to my one who had some e-stuff done, an exo to be exact, but requires a whole new upper full and a lot of perio work on the lower. and the perio... this is the first time i've ever seen a Grade 3 mobility. and i had to scale it... despite Dr Thean's offhand assurances i was a bit worried the damn thing would drop out while i was ripping Great-Wall calculus off of it with an anterior sickle, it was that shaky. and yeah, the calculus and plaque was just amazing. i found a massively deep carious cavity while prodding in the plaque while doing E&D, all hidden in the plaque. i dont know if we'll end up treating this one or just extracting. funny enough, its a lot firmer than a lot of the other teeth, which are intact but shaky.
went out with Char after school. dinner at Thai Express was ok... food was fine but the service... i think the staff dont like me, they seem to have a thing for ignoring my hand. and i got stalked by Mao and Shafiq and Stan. went for pool after, and damn well nearly won her. i need more practce dammit, my play is way too inconsistent. not like i'll be able to get any games in during the month she's in the US though. dammit...
