So balancing my time has been a theme this last week. I have been balancing practice and other "work" commitments with time with my spouse. I have also been trying to balance the services mix in my office. It has been a theme this week on the forums to talk about treating complex TMD patients in between the flow of things in a GP practice. This became reality Thursday when I had three emergency patients on my schedule with pain issues. I always try to remember to be a dentist and rule tooth issues in or out first. This is a challenge as we se things from certain perspectives based on learning and focus.
