So, GPG...what was this rotation going to be like? I had heard about how boring it was, nothing to do, so many of us in there at the same time. The thought of having to go there (not to mention the number of days) was not something I looked forward to. Well, a few weeks ago, that time came. Even though I was only able to do 1 AP in the 5 or 6 times I have been in GPG, I still had a positive experience. Most of the time I have assisted the D3s and D4s with their patients. Sure, it's not as exciting as calculus and biofilm (LOL), but it helps to see the same procedures our patients will be asking us about. (And the dental students are really happy to have the help!)
OK, OK, so everyone knows not to judge a book by it's cover, but it is sooo easy to do! So, the lesson I learned is that each experience is what you make it. We can't always control what is presented to us, just how well we react to it. The next time I hear how awful (or great for that matter) something is, I'm going to try to keep an open mind :-)
