What tickles YOUR funny bone?
- posted: May 14, 2012
We deal with stress every day - some good some bad. Even in the most difficult of times, things get SO absurd that they are actually funny. I can think of a time when my SOS partner and I were under the gun to get copies made for a presentation we were giving. Naturally, it was last minute, so the pressure was on. It was late. We were tired and so we went to the nearest copy center to see about getting our handouts made. Luckily they had a new copy machine that collated many pages together and its purpose was to make things simpler for us. Well, we were getting the job done when all of a sudden, it started speeding up and before we could say Kinko....paper was flying all over the place. It was like a page out of I Love Lucy. We laughed so hard we cried. We got it together and got our copies made...but it's those kinds of things that help release endorphins and make you think...are things REALLY that bad? Have you ever found yourself in a situation that was so stressful....it made you laugh?

Putting out "fires" in Your Practice
This was definitely not the kind of day you expected when getting out of bed this morning. You planned to treat patients and improve lives, not dowse fires all day. It is no surprise to have occasional problems
throughout the day. That’s Murphy’s Law. However, when 80% of your day is spent putting out office fires, leaving only 20% to focus on productivity, you need to do something – quickly – before those flames burn out
of control.
