I hope the opportunity to join meetings via Zoom still is with us in the future.
Right now I’m working only a few days in the office and that will likely end in the next few months. I am seriously considering retiring. Not saying I’m going to be retired forever, but for the time being, it’s an option that’s on the table so I’m thinking about it.
I think for the near future, and maybe far off into the future, I won’t be comfortable standing close to strangers in any public setting.
I really like the doctor and and my daughter’s orthodontist having the patient stay in the car and call up to say they’ve arrived, and then the office calls when they’re ready for the patient. With the orthodontist, I stay in the car while my daughter goes in and then when she comes out, they call to discuss what’s going on and make a new appointment. I dislike all the parents and kids being packed into the orthodontist’s office, waiting. The new way is so nice and leisurely, and most important, efficient.
