Day 2 report. Tricky morning, with an even bigger lineup of patients out the door waiting for us. My air abrasion unit went down and spent almost an hour fixing it, while my young patient waited patiently in the chair. The mega- humidity caused my loupes (binocular glasses) to fog up, so I couldn't use them or their light, but the Bentblaster was more than adequate.
We got things sorted out, finally moved the damn compressor into a shed and slammed the door so I didn't have to scream across the patient for instruments, and did a lot of good work the rest of the day.
Every minute you spend fixing a machine or taking a pic is time you're not helping all the folks that waited since 8am.
Lineup out the door:
Full waiting room
Local doc assisting:
This little dude was so good!
Only bathroom with a sink:
We set up a water cooler with an ozone bubbler and a basin inside.
I bought Tom and Matt a beer when they finally moved these howling machines in the shed. Our vacuum line system runs of a small Shopvac - the bigger quieter one wasn't strong.
