I'm not exaggerating. It is Stress Awareness Month and what me and my guest, Jorge Andre Cardoso, what we cover is just amazing. Mostly him, his brilliance just exudes. And we cover such hard hitting themes that if there was one episode this year of Protrusive that you listen to or watch, make it this one. [Jaz]And please, please, please share it with everyone you care for in dentistry. Because the themes that we cover are things like bringing your work home with you. Do you suffer with that? I have for many years, I still do, out of choice. But for some people, they don't want that. They don't want that to be a feature of them as a dentist. They don't want to have to spend their time treatment planning while their children are waiting. We also talk about the frustrations of there being so many different ways to do things in dentistry. Like you ask one colleague and they give you some advice and then when you ask the second colleague, that's when you've shot yourself in the foot because now you're getting conflicting advice. You are confused and that's stressful. We also cover themes like how much holiday should we be taking and how many days per week should an ideal dentist, how should a day look like, actually choreographing your day to minimize stress. And in my opinion, stress is a funny thing. Like, we know we need it.
