Economists expected 750,000 jobs to be added last month. We only got 235,000. Who are these economists? Because they weren’t even in the same galaxy with their estimate.
What’s scary is these are so called ‘experts’. But when the experts are off by more than 60% in their guess of where we should be, it should make you think what decisions are being made off of these ‘estimates’.
I know it isn’t easy to make predictions in this climate. Therefore an air of caution is going to be necessary. We could blame everything on the ‘Delta’ variant. But that won’t take us very far when we have to explain there is a shortage of rubber dams to complete the root canal.
Who would’ve predicted that we’d have a vaccine for a novel virus and then have a backlash to take said vaccine.
It’s been up and down. So is life. Nothing really knew. Just a couple new variables added to the mix.
It’s getting harder to trust who the true experts are out there. The only burden of truth is when you see and realize it yourself. Which is a very slow and arduous process to tease out the falsities and wrongs that exist in the mindset of others.
But maybe the falsities and wrongs may already exist in our own head. Therefore we need to be extra careful not to judge.
Our patients are being bombarded with the same message of so called ‘experts’. They may even look at you as such an ‘expert’. Hope that you have clearly pointed them the right path for treatments and care, because the moment you lose an ounce of trust, you may have lost them forever.
The greatest shortage I see in practices right now, isn’t supplies or staff, but it is trust. Trust your mission and continue to provide the greatest care you possibly can. All other things seems to be out of our control at the moment.
