Reality................Check

My patient today had Systemic Sclerosis and Scleroderma

Basically she is slowly turning into bone. Inside and out and there is not yet a cure. Right now she cannot bend her wrist at all. I was weary of her nervous laugh (nervous laughs in the operatory irk me) and the three pain pills she popped right before her cleaning. Little did I realize.

Get those ducks in a row.

Kaes... They make me boil inside... And make me want to be real mean to their gums.

I take that back... I would never be mean to gums.
