My First Patient
**This post has been removed. While it did not contain images of the patient, it did contain images of the auricular prosthesis that I made, and underlying acrylic substructure. It spoke of my enjoyment in working with a patient for the first time, and of how an acrylic substructure works in an implant retained prosthesis. It spoke of intrinsic and extrinsic coloring.
I have been asked to broaden my interpretation of PHI (personal health information) to include any images of any prosthesis made for a patient as well as any materials in development for a prosthesis (ie mixed color samples, or an acrylic substructure). I will try to find ways to speak about these processes in a more strictly theoretical capacity and without images in the future.
My apologies to those reading for the lost post. It was mostly about my enthusiasm in working for a patient for the first time. And it was also about working under someone new and therefore getting to soak in some new ideas and ways of doing things that I hadn’t been exposed to yet. **
