If you're like, my guest, Nabeel Cajee, then it was probably like, you know what, I got this, he had a background in embroidery\n\n\n\nJaz's Introduction:But for me, I was absolutely hopeless. And to be fair, I\u2019ve improved a lot since the first days in dental school, but there\u2019s so much I still need to improve on, which is why I found you one of the best people to teach on sutures. This guy is brilliant. He\u2019s got a whole online portfolio of videos to watch. And it is something that\u2019s really helped me and I\u2019m continuing through his course. And I want to bring him on to share with you some nuggets of inspiration to improve your suturing come Monday morning. We covered this episode.\n\n\n\nBut no, there are two types of courses, there are courses that you do, which will ultimately, it may not be the main goal, but ultimately it will improve your return on investment, or it will give you a return on investment. So I know that if I start placing implants, and I got an implant year long course, it might cost me a lot of money on this one year long course. But I know that there\u2019ll be a return on investment, I can offer my patients implants. And that should reflect my bottom line. That shouldn\u2019t be the reason I do the course, ideally, but it will have an ROI.\n\n\n\nThere are other courses that you do, and other things that we\u2019ve purchased like microscopes for example, or suturing, for example that you do because you know that you can give the highest quality of your care to that patient. One of the things that Nabeel says that when you place a suture, that is your signature of the surgery. I love that saying, right? And to be fair, from my experiences with suturing, I can definitely do with a helping hand hence why I\u2019ve come to this sort of episode, I think I can share this with everyone to help you all.\n\n\n\nIn this episode, we\u2019re going to cover what are the types of sutures available. If there was one suture,
