Personal Narrative: My Lost RPD

With my early trips to the dentist and the natural loss of my baby teeth having sparked an interest in dentistry before I really knew what being a dentist meant, I began shadowing to further explore the profession. As I watched a tooth take shape from a blob of acrylic under the experienced hand of the dentist I was shadowing, I was filled with the same awe and satisfaction that I gain from the piano. Dr. Aboud repeatedly positioned the temporary crown in the patient’s mouth, checked his bite, and painstakingly continued to adjust the crown until the fit was just right. Though I have wanted to be a dentist for almost as long as I have played the piano, my interest in dentistry grew

I have lost my grandpa and have not gotten over the idea of it. When I was in the sixth grade, my grandfather was very sick; he could barely walk. While my grandmother and some other family members went uptown for some household things, food, and medication, I was told to take care of him. Yet, I wanted to play with my friends outside. He told me to go ahead and play, but for some reason I just got mad and slammed the door and left. Around nighttime, I seen an ambulance pull up to my grandparents’ house.

I feel a sense of calmness wash over me. My thoughts are peaceful and positive. I am confident and capable. I sleep a deep, healing sleep. I wake in the morning refreshed and renewed.

Counselor red flagged pt. and requested that he meet for brief TX intervention to discuss his current counseling non-compliance status and explaining the risk of discharge from the program if he fails to do an individual session by 1/22/17. AMS receptionist told this writer that pt. is asking why he needs to meet with this writer. This writer told him to inform him that if he fails to complete one hour individual session by 1/22/17 he will be subject for a TX discharge. Pt. refused to meet with this writer and he failed to schedule an individual session on the above date.

This is regarding an incident at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo with a Dr. Darren Huffman, on May 11th, 2018 at approximately 4pm-6pm. I went through the double doors and entered the first room in the E.R to the right. I believe it is known as the triage room. I came to Mercy Hospital because of a hand injury I received at work. I brought a piece of paper from workers compensation with me because of the injury. I just switched insurance providers and never picked a primary care physician. My hand was and still is swollen since the injury happened on 12/24/2017, and figured going to the nearest hospital would be the quickest way to get it checked out before I go to a specialist on the 17th of May.

Frankie Tilmon continues to be out of treatment compliance. Frankie has missed his last four appointments, 7/2/15, 7/9/15, 7/16/15, and 7/30/15. Frankie contacted this provider on 7/6 to apologize for missing his appointment on 7/2 and was reminded of his next appointment on 7/9, which he agreed to attend. On 7/15 Frankie contacted this provider to apologize for missing his treatment appointment on 7/9 and agreed to make his appointment the following day, which he failed to appear for. On 7/16 Frankie contacted this provider to again apologize for missing his appointment and wanted to confirm his next scheduled appointment day/time. I told Frankie that his appointment day and time has not changed; it was on Thursdays at 4pm. Frankie told

After promising to provide me with documents confirming Petitioner's allegations, Mr. Sundstrom did provide me with the promised documents. As a result, I called Mr. Sundstrom the following morning. After asking about the promised documents, Mr. Sundstrom responded, "Chermette can access the records. I said, "Chermette does not work in the department that handles mental hygiene applications. More importantly, unauthorized access represents a HIPPA violation. I plan to file a complaint with the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel, unauthorized access would taint the documents." Realizing Mr. Sundstrom did not offer to provide me the documents, I said, " I will stop by your office and pick up the documents." Contrary to what Mr. Sundstrom said many times the prior day, "Well, I do not have any documents. I only have a cover sheet with

April 19, 2017. I was sitting at the front check-in desk, Mod J, Hematology/ Oncology. Patient approached the front desk stating he was here for his noon appointment with a Dr. Olinski. I told the patient we did not have a doctor by that name, but before we went any further, I asked what was his last name and last four so that I could look and see what he was referring to. When looking into the system, the only appointment I seen was for 6/5/17 with a Dr. Zhao in our clinic, Mod J. The patient stated he couldn’t remember who called him or where they told him to go, only thing he knew was the name Dr. Olinski. Not saying anything to the patient, I tired looking into the patients chart as he stood there looking at me, I looked in the orders,

Richard was not present at his first court-appointed therapist appointment yesterday. Rich called minutes before the appointment start time and told the counselor, Stephen Kavanagh L.M.H.C., that the bus was running late and rescheduled the 1:30pm weekly appointment to the following week at 2:30pm, which is a bi-weekly appointment, not a weekly appointment. Rich had previously agreed to weekly counseling appointments with Richard but unilaterally changed the weekly appointments to bi-weekly appointments at 2:30pm without any input or consideration of myself, when the appointments are supposed to be counseling to improve Richard and my relationship.

Looking back to the WODs something that I would like to change would be be doing them correctly, as during most of the WODs I was not able to do them correctly. In the future I would like to complete all my exercises correctly with our any mistake, as during WOD#2 I did not complete the rest for 60 seconds, as I was not that tired. For the mile I walked for 17 minutes as it was really hot, and i did not want to get tired easily, so I decided to walk. However in the future, I would like to run for 1 round, jog for another, and sprint for the last. So if i do the math I would be able to run one round for a 1 minute, jog for 1:30, so if we did 8 rounds it would take me around 9 minutes to complete the mile, which is really good for me, as my

Interviewing Rad made it clear to me the reason of miscommunication between us. Recognizing the similarity of my own childhood trauma experience with him was the key to help me comprehend my struggle as the future therapist with working with traumatized children. As Robbie Adler-Tapia (2012) wrote about relationship between therapist and a child: “ this is valuable information because the therapist’s reactions to the child, often labeled countertransference, are likely a good representation of the child’s experience of being in the world and in relationship with others.
