Introducing South Africa’s very own Blue Eyed Elvis of Periodontics, Rhoodie Garrana 🦋💙 Rhoodie has an absolutely fascinating mind and spirit that I am so grateful to have captured on tape at the end of last year 🙏🏻 After studying for 13 years with many heartaches, risks, pivots and character shaping moments, Rhoodie took the leap of faith to open up his own clinic specialising in implantation, periodontics and oral medicine and has helped change the lives of 1000s of patients all around Southern Africa. In this episode Rhoodie and I speak about truth telling in the medical industry, learning to deal with failure as a key indicator of where improvements can be made and what it means to be a thought leader and business mind as a specialist in the medical industry. Rhoodie’s work ethic, mindset and devotion to his patients and his passions, is a true testament to what it means to be in service of others. For those of you who’ve had the pleasure of meeting Rhoodie will know just how important people like him are to our society as South Africans. He truly is one of the best in the world at what he does. It is my hope that Rhoodie can inspire more medical practitioners to develop a mindset of embracing failure openly to mitigate error and create a culture of openness and understanding in order to grow and advance our already amazing technologies and health care systems.
