How Embarrassing!

Guess what I did today????
I DROPPED AN INSTRUMENT ON A PATIENTS FACE!!!!!!!

It was so embarrassing. I have NEVER done that before. It landed on her upper lip, and slightly punctured it. I had to pull it out! She only had a drop of blood, and some inflammation. Luckily, she was very nice about it and told me not to worry. I just kept thinking: 'What if it had landed in her eye?!? I don't think I could have forgiven myself. I might have to invest in some safety glasses...

If you ever have me clean your teeth, you've been warned! Sorry if this story freaks some of you out!! (Erin and Jen J., in particular.)

Ha! I will make sure to tell my dad, brother, and kim about this! If they don't come back...you know why! =)

Seriously though, I have always wondered if that ever happened. Good thing the person was ok!

Just further confirmation of the whole dentist office = hell theory I have. Thanks.
