I’m not sure if my American friends will completely understand that phrase but I’m referring to when I first jointly held a class with Dr Hal Huggins. I’d joined his organisation in 2007 as the Client service director, my role was primarily to lead a small sales team and liaise with patients and Alliance dentists.
I’d only been with “Doc” for 3 months when I attended my first clinic in Texas with Dr Stuart Nunnally. The two week clinic was split into patients having their extensive dentistry in the first week followed by 4 days in class.
Dr Huggins had spent 20 years perfecting “Body Chemistry re-balancing”. During the week he spent a great deal of time with patients individually discussing how their specific body chemistry had been knocked out of balance thus enabling various disease could become resident. Being able to show how this could be corrected obviously of a period of time required the individual’s dedication and patience.
Apart from the “one on one” time he spent, there were also several days of classroom time covering aspects that related to everyone. It was here that I was also involved, now I’ll try to put this into perspective. When I joined 3 months earlier I was just me, not someone that had any real understanding of body chemistry. So when doc told me I’d be participating and teaching at the clinic I was quite frankly, crapping myself. For 3 months I read every book doc had written which was seven plus several “papers” published in dental and medical journals. So on the first day we sat on tall stools at the front of a class of sick patients and their caregivers and I was nevous.
I didn’t freeze up but I was definitely flying by the seat of my pants, fortunately doc and I as a twosome did ok. He explained the majority obviously but as I gained confidence started to enjoy sharing the information I’d been lucky enough to have learned.
That was the beginning of a very special, very rewarding time during which I interacted with more than 17,000 patients and I feel blessed to know that I helped a large percentage of them.
