The recession, credit crisis and your dental practice.
Lynn D Carlisle DDS
Freaked by the financial fiasco? A new "Recession Navigation" department has been added to ISOC I have put past articles and resources from ISOC and will be
adding new articles and resources that will help you navigate the
recession of 2008-?. The articles include nitty gritty articles on what to do,
foundational articles, care for the caregiver articles, financial
articles, books to read and links to recent articles in magazines
and newspapers. The authors include: Mike Schuster, Bob Frazer, L.D. Pankey,
Harold Wirth, Cliff Katz, Doug Young, Rich Green, Mary Osborne,
Deb Castillo, Carl Rogers, Bill Lockard and others. Recessions are always scary because when you are in the middle of
them you don't know what will happen. As I write this, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average is bouncing up and down at around $10,670
.00. I am not a financial futurist or economist, so I make no
predictions about what the future holds. And, I am biting my
tongue about rendering my opinion on our politicians and the mess
they have created. However, I have weathered 5 recessions as a
dentist - 1969-70, 1973-75, 1981-82, 1991, 2001, and now 2008-?. This experience reminds me of Walt Whitman's comment about
worrying; "I have had much to worry about in my life, most of
which didn't happen". I was tempted to label the new department "Recession Proof your
Dental Practice", but decided on the more honest "Recession
Navigation - helping you navigate the whitewater of the recession
of 2008-?". I can't guarantee that your practice will be recession proof
after you read the articles, but I know if applied the articles
will help you navigate the recession. Go to: Recession Navigation
