Extra exam and mirror fulcrum

Today was a busy day. We first learned about how to do the extra oral exam. I felt pretty good about this because I was brave enough to do one at the Women's Health Connection when I volunteered. I especially like being the patient and having the exam done on me. It was a nice little massage. Then we went over how to hold the mirror in the different positions of the patient's mouth. It is a lot harder than it sounds! And of course, because of my left-handedness, I get confused easily because I have to think of everything backwards when they are teaching it. But no worries, we have a left-handed instructor!! So after we practiced that we had a lot of time to pass of PE's. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do the Health History PE. After sitting around for a few minutes with nothing to do I finally got the courage to pass it off. It is a lot of information but the more I practice it the easier it becomes. I need to work on being more confident in myself and just do it like I know how to.
