At the end of this week a small group of us within the clinic undertook our DILS (Dental Immediate Life Support training) with our normal DILS provider in the practice.
This is the type of day that you look at from a distance and think it’s a chore and then go through it and realise it’s great and much better than working for a living and brilliant for team bonding and also education.
One of the things we were discussing at one point was shear scissors and how they can be used for removal of clothing in medical emergencies but how they can also be used for cutting pizza.
We had a brief discission (in our DILS training) on how scissors are obviously the best way to cut pizza yet every single house in the UK seems to have a pizza wheel.
The trick with cutting pizza with scissors is to leave it for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and then cut it with a pair of scissors and there are now specific scissors available for cutting pizza.
The weird thing about this is that before pizza wheels we all had scissors, yet we felt it was important to buy a pizza wheel to cut pizzas instead of exploring the tools that we already had, which in fact were better than the one which we used.
Sometimes the answer is right in front of your face and despite trying to develop something entirely different to solve a problem, a little bit of thought and a little bit of distance would have showed you that the problem has been solved already.
