A VOICE IN THE ARENA

You Can Always Find an Irish Pub
T
here's a song called " Irish Pub Song " by the
band Th e High Kings. I love it because I'm a
big fan of Irish pubs (my wife, Natalie, and
I built one in our basement, seen above)
and also because the song's message strikes a
chord with me. Th e singer basically explains that
if you're Irish, you can go anywhere in the world
and still feel at home because there are Irish pubs
all over the world. In my own nerdy way, I feel the
same about being an orthodontist!
Whenever I travel with my family-which is
as often as possible-I always make an eff ort to
visit a local orthodontic offi ce. I do so for a few
diff erent reasons. First, they are always some of
my most memorable conversations with another
colleague. English may not be both of our fi rst
languages, but we are always both fl uent in
orthodontics. Also, these conversations allow
me to see our craft through the experiences
of another in a totally diff erent culture while
connecting over a shared love for what we do.
It takes my mind out of the day-to-day minutiae
and challenges of my own offi ce and puts me
in the shoes of someone who lives a completely
diff erent life and style of practice. I always leave
those experiences with a big and meaningful
perspective change and more gratitude for what
I do.
The practice comes with a warning
In April, my family and I visited an island where
there is only one full-time orthodontist, who's
been the only full-time orthodontist on the
island for more than 30 years! (He wished to
remain anonymous in this column.) During our
time together, he told me a story I'll never forget:
