11-4-08 Lab

In our lab we went over emergency situations, including an earthquake and medical problems. It was helpful; it's good to know what to do if there is an emergency, and the more practice the better.

We also learned about subgingival irrigation and desensitization; those were really easy. We tried some different kinds of varnish. Neither of them stayed on as well as vanish does. I didn't like them.

We practiced wheelchair transfers. That was fun. We have a lot of wheelchair patients at the VA, so it's something that is very important for us to go over. It wasn't quite realistic because none of us were very hard to lift, but it was still good practice.
