Yesterday was one of those days where I had meetings with people, and I wondered whether I should just be working.
We had a zoom call with an international education provider who wants to partner up to do some stuff which could be brilliant for moving our business forwards, but we had great fun, Tom and I on the call as well.
We met with Luke from Planmeca who’s a great friend of ours now, planning an event for later on in the year where we hope some people can come and see the Clinic and then we had a meeting about the future and what it might look like and what the challenges will be trying to get there.
That did the morning and then in the afternoon I did a sinus graft on a reindeer head.
We were filming a practical exercise for the osteology study day at the Royal College of Physicians on the 8thof April.
On that day I get to talk for 40 minutes about how we do sinus grafting and how we managed to reduce the treatment time for sinus grafting from 12 months down to less than 12 weeks in most cases and have been doing so for 13 years and then in the afternoon that day people get a chance to practice the sinus graft on a reindeer head.
To many people, that may seem horrible and terrible and I have to say, for me, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it and we did try our very best to get a model alternative, but we couldn’t do that.
I’m reliably informed the reindeers are not sacrificed in any way specifically for me to work on them and we’re only using an off cut.
It’s quite a good model for learning how to sinus graft and a very good model to practice on, and the video that we carried out yesterday will be on in the background while the guys that attend the course practice and get help navigating the challenges of sinus grafting.
If you’re keen to find out about it, the details are here, and osteology tell me there are places left. There are two much better demonstrators and speakers than me on the course as I hit the bottom of the bill.
If it’s not your thing or you’re unable to come, then perhaps just contemplate for a minute how weird yesterday actually was.
