A stroke stole his manual skills—could it end his career?
In this episode, Dr. Gregory Wu opens up about the life-altering moment a stroke derailed his clinical career and how it made him a better businessman and leader. At the peak of his practice, Greg faced a sudden medical crisis that left him unable to perform dentistry—a devastating blow to any clinician.
He shares what it felt like to lose not just motor function, but his professional identity. They dive into the emotional impact, the grieving process, and the harsh reality of what happens when your livelihood is tied to your hands. Greg also discusses the lessons he learned about disability insurance, financial planning, and how ego can complicate the recovery process.
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you couldn’t practice tomorrow, this conversation is your wake-up call. Dr. Wu’s story is one of resilience and redefining purpose when the career you love is forever altered overnight.
