when a patient has hope, he always does better than the patient who doesnt have hope. the patient who believes what you say and acts on it will also perform better in the long run.
so what do you do with the patient who
1) has a Hx of NPC with all the problems of
1a) xerostomia
1b) a 1 3/4 finger opening of DOOOOOOM!
2) doesnt use his F- gel
3) is still ACTIVELY SMOKING ~20/day?
doing his CAPs felt like an exercise in self-punishment. there was smoker's breath, exposed dentine blackened, not by foodstuff and caries, but by the assortment of noxious chemicals from the ciggies, bad-ass caries (ever seen distal upper 7 look as if a rat has chewed it?). amazing. hope my little preventive talk got into his thick head...
Kenneth managed to get me hooked on another anime series. Macross Frontier tells the story of a colony fleet, its inhabitants, a group of civilian military contractors who defend said fleet and in particular one particular, well, for want of a better description, reluctant bishonen. i think my general tastes in anime tend towards exploding things and series which have fun and don't take themselves too seriously, notable exceptions being Monster and Gunslinger Girl. this series kinda fits the mould, and they know that they have rabid fanboys amongst the viewers! expect frog abuse, micronisation errors and the ever-loved Macross Missile Massacre(tm) a-plenty!
