Crazy VA!!

Today was my first day down to the VA (Veterans Hospital) in SLC. What a crazy experience! I was really excited to get in and get my hands dirty! My first patient was really hard to treat. He was in a wheelchair and couldn't lay back very far or move his head. I was pretty nervous to get started. He turned out to be a pretty ok patient but I was relieved when the clinic time was over. He was a class III which is HUGE in Hygiene language so that made up for it. My afternoon patient was also a class III but he was much easier to treat. He was really nice but I was only able to complete 2 quads. Overall, the day was pretty stressful but really exciting! I saw tons of calculus and LOVED watching is come off! What a great learning day!
