2/5 clinic

Today my goal was to make it through my first spanish speaking patient. I picked up the paper that has some spanish terms and phrases. I was afraid to use some of the phrases because I didn't know how to say them and any phrases I knew were used in the first five minutes. My patient was really nice and cooperative but it was really hard because I didn't know how to explain toothbrushing, periodontal disease, flossing, etc. Lily was really helpful which I appreciated a lot. It took a lot of time because I spent half of my day finding someone to interpret for me. It was hard but it was a good experience.
