Katie (Dr.Miller) has now been in my practice a bit over 3 weeks. I have started her training by pretty much putting her feet to the fire. She has a little background as to how the laser works but we have not really dug into it very deeply. I decided to do this later and get her started clinically.

We started out with her doing one of our patients that needed a helping hand. She did 4 Incisals right off using the Delight. I talked her through some basic settings and when and how to change them by watching the laser tissue interaction. She was using 2.5 loops and we have bumped her up to X6 loops.
Then she used the laser and the highspeed at the same time to remove a DO alloy on #29.
I then moved her over to the Waterlase and soon to the MD. I am holding out on the Periolase for now. ( I got to have some fun.)
She has been knocking out some pretty advanced hardtissue stuff with the ER lasers. Like all of us she has had a few that gave her problems. She has had to pickup the highspeed and has has to numb a few patients.
I am very proud of her. In 3 weeks she has gotten past some of the stumbling blocks that discourage others .

Can you see me smiling?
