I've been pretty exhausted during my first two years of dental school...and now in third year, I'm treating patients. Due to some unforseen circumstances for the foreseeable future, I'll have to cope with not getting enough rest for the next little while. So some questions:
1) how have some of you dealt with being tired in clinic? It's one thing to be tired in class, but another to be tired when working on patients...
2) maybe fatigue is more manageable in clinic, and not sitting and listening in a lecture? Or do you find that you actually do forget things, or are slow, or don't work efficiently?
3) More importantly, has anyone ever made mistakes on patients b/c they were tired?
Thanks!
