#preclinic

I did a three hour observation of a third year in the resto clinic today and assisted at the same time. It was fun except for the screaming back pain I got every time I hovered over the patient with the high speed suction. The sensation was even worse than the back pain I get from leaning over when drilling in preclinic. On that note, today I also tried out the cheapy (relatively) loupes I bought to solve the issue of back pain. About half an hour in I got fustrated and took them off. I find I am still leaning forward and the magnification didn't really do anything for me. My preclinic buddy says they make a bigger difference for indirect vision so I'll give them another go if we've got any of those. I guess they will take getting used to especially for judging depth and things. The decreased field of view also made me a bit confused and I have enough trouble already, remembering what I'm supposed to be doing. Anyway back to clinic, the DA chairs do have front arm rests but I find I sit too far forward to use them? Maybe it's my own problem. ):

The third year student I was observing was having problems with visibility because the water spray was clouding his mirror. His supervisor suggested that I use the triplex to blow the water off which I thought was pretty ingenious. Instead of stopping every few seconds to wipe his mirror, he could actually get some work done. Now I just have to figure out how to hold a mirror and triplex in one hand so I don't have the same problem in preclinic ^^. No such things as too many hands in dentistry. 

Unfortunately for my student, he had an exam right after clinic and despite being on time, that would still have meant he finished exactly when his exam started. Dental school can be so stupid sometimes. The supervisor offered to finish off he work though, so that he could mentally prepare a bit before going into the exam. xD The student also said that having an exam on a day when they had clinic was stupid because it meant they were operating on patients with pretty much no sleep.

SELESAI PRAKTIKUM KONSERVASI , yay!

aku sih,kayaknya remedial tumpatan komposit aja. ehehe.tetap alhamdulillaah , karena in shaa' Allaah , cuma 1 tumpatan itu saja. tetap semangat!

tapi.....

ah well

the presssure is so so tight you know

makanya kalau ada mahasiswa kedokteran yang pikir kedokteran gigi itu cuma begitu-begitu aja, berarti mereka belum tahu gimana awful dan stressfulnya praktikum-praktikum pra klinik kedokteran gigi

tadi juga lucu deh, aku kan poles amalgam , terus karena waktu nya mepet banget, aku diburu-buru waktu and aku minta tolong temanku yang sudah ,

jadi itu , kita tuh kayak lagi operasi gigi

irvan : inez , rubber hijau! *inez ambil rubber hijau

irvan : blower2!*aku nge blower

irvan dan inez : udah, udah , cepetan dinilai rahma

hhahah.

alhamdulillaah

bismillaah

i had suturing post-test today. in the last 2 days, i decided to take a break researching,

hence, when i met my supervisors on the hospital, i didnt submit the paper, i submitted my smiles instead. hihih

"sorry, doc sometimes im quite tired working on it"hehehhe

besides, i have been trial-run the research , so i think it will be more stressful to add up consultation schedule in my academic activities all at once.

alhamdulilllaah nonetheless.

bismillaah

alhamdulillaah. im so tired today but i dont know why, i feel like Allaah made it all things easy for me. yes, i have been reprimanded by my supervisors, even some of them said something rude regarding my undergraduate thesis. but alhamdulillaah ala kulli hal, at least  i got their signatures and have been allowed to do the research in shaa' Allaah tomorrow. may Allaah rewards my muslim supervisor (i've got 2 supervisors , one of them is christian, so im not going to make a du'a for him  indeed, im going to make a du'a for the another one)

btw, my roommate was having her birthday, but im so sorry, i couldnt celebrate it for it resembles kaffirun you know.eventhough i was absent in her birthday, she still gave me her cake and even bother to deliver it to my room by herself. may Allaah rewards you <3

ah anyways, my friend broke her promise to bring another alginate and her own stock tray to make her teeth impression, however, i stirred up succesfully the appropriate composition of alginate to make dental impression . i asked upperclassmen to assess my works , and they said ive done quite well. alhamdulillaah.

9: 54 pm indonesia's time

still awake, eventhough my eyes are getting heavy . (blame the internet, im studying and tumblring and facebooking at the same .. to reduce the stress, just saying.)

anyways,gotta lots of review todo. in shaa'Allaah . tonight, im going to sharpen my suture skill. the practicum will be counted as oral surgery competency in the next thursday in shaa' Allaah. besides , i promise to myself to complete chapter 3 of my undergraduate thesis by the end of this day in shaa' Allaah. i need to meet my supervisor to ask about further research procedure in monday in shaa' Allaah.

bismillaah (in the name of Allaah)

 i met professor arif, he is a specialist in prosthodontics, he taught clinic students

and that was my first time working in REAL dental unit and being taught by him, it actually wasnt my own dental unit, it belongs to some students of 2008. due to dental impressions practicum, we are supposed to use some tools provided in dental unit such as dental chair

and i began to wonder "professor, if Allaah still gives me time to live, in shaa' Allaah you will be testing my undergraduate thesis, wont you?  "

thesis stage I

i thought i was interested in oral medicine

at the moment, i think im suitable to check "prosthodontics " on thesis proposal though
