2019: A Year in Review
by Dan Grob, DDS, MS, editorial director, Orthotown magazine
As I was waiting in line for my overpriced cup of coffee the
other morning, I couldn't help but notice that many holiday items
were on sale. Just what someone needs, another deluxe cup to
store your designer blend of joe. Not to mention, half of them
don't even fit properly in a cup holder!
How many of you have received a cup or some other
trinket that you use for a while and it ends up in some
drawer or cabinet and eventually into storage or out
the door? I don't know about you, but I have all the
cups I need. Plus, if I need another, I'd like to pick
out my own. I hope I'm not offending anyone who
has given me a cup over the years, but this is all
part of a big point I'm trying to make.
Nothing was more gratifying to me than selling
my humble little practice this past year and going
through everything and discarding the underused
items. So refreshing! It really reminds one of how
much time and money we spend on things that don't
really matter.
Life is full of choices and daily decisions. We see
flashing lights at home on the microwave and cooktop.
(I would say VCR but that would date me.) In fact, did you
know that they now sell insurance for your waterline from your
home to the street! For a small monthly fee of course. I invite all of
you who have had a waterline break in your front yard to email me
with the disaster's details. The point I'm trying to make is that to
be successful and accomplish your goals, you need to be consistent
and disciplined and stick to your principles, whatever they may be.
From home to the office
Clutter in life easily extends to your practice and can influence
your interaction with staff, patients and family. I hope it's not just
me, but how many of you have a drawer, cabinet or, worse yet, an
entire room in your office full of items you don't use? Free cases of
brackets or appliances to try, only to retire them to their rightful
place or not know where they are when the patient breaks or loses
