Thanks for dropping by to read this week’s blog. I appreciate each one of you who have taken the time to respond. With the exception of literally 1 person in the last 6 years, every other response I’ve received has been positive. For that I am grateful. I don’t claim to be the repository of all knowledge. I simply research and do my best for a 500 word weekly blog.

As I sit at the keyboard today, I find I have a touch of writers block until an idea popped into my head. Today’s blog has to do with ego. Mine gets a bit of a lift from your kind feedback and admittedly got a little bruised when I had a critic. We all have an ego. Some are huge and some small. Ego is always best when kept in check.
MR WEBSTER…
EGO-noun. An inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others. Your consciousness of your own identity. Your sense of self-worth, pride or self-importance.
BOTTOMLESS PIT
When you notice someone has a big ego, they are normally thought to be full of themselves. You’ve met them…those bottomless pits of need with an insatiable thirst for validation. They tend to brag ad nauseum. Exhausting is one way to describe time spent with these gems.
DICHOTOMY
Recently we socialized with a couple of different circles of friends. In one instance, our time was spent with “him” regaling us with his prowess in so many different arenas. He must always reign victorious. He is a nice guy and is the personification of a large ego. In contrast, the other gentleman (and I do mean gentleman) was completely opposite. He was mild mannered and genuinely interested in what you had to say. We enjoyed a conversation as opposed to a soliloquy. He brought little to no attention to himself, albeit he is an exceptional athlete.
BALANCE
There is room for everyone. This is an abundant universe. We are all good at something. A little competition is not always a bad thing. As the matter of fact, a little competition can act as a motivator and inspire personal growth. Don’t let insecurities muddy the waters.

Is High Desert Doppler the very best when it comes to diagnostic ultrasound? We like to think so. This is not an ego driven statement. It is simply the truth. We invite you to judge for yourself. Can you get an ultrasound elsewhere? Of course you can. There are many choices when it comes to ultrasound. A little competition translates into better service and quality, which continually motivates us. Competition promotes excellence. We strive for excellence. If you and your healthcare provider determine diagnostic ultrasound is indicated, call us at 505-350-3397.
