Signed the papers Friday to sell my practice - 35 1/2 years of playing in peoples mouths as a dentist. Sold it to a younger guy that still has the energy to play. My wife and I are worn out, burned out you might say. We'll work another coupla weeks until the new doc takes over.
Yeah, I know there's a lot of jokes, etc. and emotions when you are the one in the chair. Believe me, I've been there too. But there's a lot of emotions and stress on the doc's chair too! It is time to hang it up, gonna miss a lot of the patients, great folks, and a lot of fun times, too.
Talked with my staff to tell them I was retiring this afternoon after we were done for the day.
It was a very emotional meeting, tears all around. I couldn't keep from breaking up, this has been the best staff and group of employees that I've had in 35 years of practice.
We are going to treat them right, give them all their vacay, sick pay, prorated Xmas bonus for staying with us until the bitter end. Then we'll take them out to dinner the last day.
New doc will probably hire most of them. Any one that gets another job, we will give them a glowing recommendation.
They have been a great bunch of gals, fun to work with, (love nasty jokes! ThumbUp), and loyal to us without a doubt.
Probably what I'll miss the most after I am officially retired.
