Anh MakkarDespite my training, achievements, and skills, there were certainly times I felt like I’d hit a wall. The confidence I had during university and my early career seemed to waver, and instead of owning the racetrack with the wind in my hair, I felt like I was crawling through mud.
Anh MakkarAs a profession that advocates for prevention over cure, it can be surprising and saddening to know that the same approach isn’t applied to clinician wellbeing. From university training to entering the workforce, patient care and high-quality dentistry have been the focus, and rightly so.
Anh MakkarWe’ve all been there: a broken endodontic file, a failed implant, or a crown that doesn’t seat. A disgruntled patient, a collegial dispute or even a legal complaint. As generally Type A people with perfectionistic tendencies, these events can be blown out of proportion and linger on our minds.
Anh MakkarOver the course of 2018 – 2019, I was so in my head, it was ridiculous. I knew something was wrong, but I fought so hard to push that thought away, in denial for far too long. I was stressed and chronically tense, always thinking about work and procedures, before, during and after.
