When the patient comes to the dentist office for the first time they are to fill out a health history. AKA this is when I get to find out all the dirty details on my patient. haha jk. But really, I had to admit to Kailene some things that I really don't want anyone to know about. :-)
So health history is important. It's also the thing that can be messed up the most! I hope I can remember everything that we will need to put on the chart as we're filling it out. It scares me to think that we might have to defend our license with just what we have written in our chart.
We have to know every slimey detail of drugs so if you're going to go to the doctor please have the type, dosage and effects of the drugs you are taking.
It took one whole page to write everything we needed to write on one person's drugs they are taking. AH! I don't know how I feel about these pill popper people!
So we are going to Park City next weekend for the ADHA meeting. I'm actually pretty excited because we will get a look at the dental hygiene world and what it has to offer outside of our little haven we call weber state. A few of us are going to stay at a condo and go both days. I'm pretty excited about that as well. We'll get to know each other (I'm sure Kim will have some great stories for us) and shop and watch movies. It will just be a grand old time.
Yesterday, on the car ride of our lives, I learned about health insurance! OMG! America is retarded when it comes to health insurance! If I am poor and don't have a job, then I can have a baby for free and be fed and feed the baby for free for a year. But if I'm paying 200 dollars a month for insurance with a job then I have to pay 18,000 just to have the baby and then all the food and supplies that goes with it. How rediculous is that? How does that motivate me to go out and get a good paying job? Why not just stay poor and ride on the backs of the rich? Of course I don't want to be that way but I'm sure many many Americans feel that way.
Sigh. Life is so stressful.
