How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? Referrals have been high; people have been in really bad shape. A lot of what I’m doing is by phone and a lot of it is just simply discussing medication alternatives. The medication market is way up — the anti-anxiety market is way up. Unfortunately, so is alcoholism, spousal abuse and DUIs. You can see that the pandemic is playing on everybody. You handle it the best you can. Telemedicine has also helped me to navigate everything due to COVID-19.
