[…] know, this blog that started out as a vehicle to get me out of my career has become a vehicle to inspire you to make a move to create the positive changes you seek in your lives. You don’t have to be someone […]

In reply to Danni. Sound like someone is ready to go! That's always been one of my things too... along with many others. It's hard to make a move, but sometimes you just realize there isn't any other way!

The ‘What if it doesn’t work out?’ thing has always been mine. It’s hard to just jump in. No doubt. Like you said, it’s easier to just have an excuse and say, “Well, I just can’t right now. Maybe next year.” The time is now though my friend. The time is now.

In reply to Dr. Pam Brennen-Clarke.

Dr. Pam….. you are SO RIGHT. I never thought much of the ‘ one bad apple’ scenario. even when i was younger.. a few of ‘those’ patients circled on the schedule did not bring me down much. then by my mid-30’s it started easting at my soul. By the time I hit 50 in 3 years.. i will likely be practicing out of an iron lung machine.
…..But Seriously, as LLB as pointed out thru the tapestry of this blog….. when you find “it/them’ following you around during the weekends… feeling the sunday night ‘dread’ creep back in (i had not felt since 1992 ,…dental school)
I need to re-acess, but am trapped in a cage of my own making.
At least I understand the ‘Marley’ figure from Dickens Christmas Carol a lot better.. in fact, i am downright empathetic 🙂

In reply to Dr. Pam Brennen-Clarke. Thanks! I agree. Great patients do help make dentistry all of those things. The bad ones make it sooo painful!!

Great blog post. Dentistry is a fun ,rewarding, creative profession. If we all could take the idiot patients out of the equation , most of us wouldn’t loath the day to day stress associated with playing the people’s mood games.

In reply to rick. Haha! And I always thought you had to be pretty damn courageous to get into that career. Shows what I know. :)
