Curiosity Revived the Cat: Digging into the most important trait for patient communication and career fulfillment

Amanda Hill BSDH, RDH, CDIPC

We all know what it feels like to be unfulfilled, lose sight of our purpose, or ready to throw in the towel.

It's time to break free from those chains and unleash the power of our curiosity! Sure, as kids we were all curious little explorers, but as we aged, society conditioned us to believe our curiosity could lead to trouble. So we stopped questioning and just went through the motions, sinking into the monotony of "getting it done." But let's be real: that's when we lose sight of ourselves, our passion, and our connection to our profession, teams, and patients. Well, no more! It's time to rekindle that natural sense of awe and wonder that got us here in the first place!
