Today today, Feb. 6, 2008.
Told my dentist that I'm now engaged. Fully.
We talked about the ethical conflict of dental exams: students there at the Destiny School must pay $2000 for an exam that requires they provide three candidates from their pool of patients. If the candidates aren't deemed worthy on the day of the exam (meaning, if the specific decay to be worked on isn't as bad as they diagnosed), the $2000 is lost. They must repay (and thus, retake) at a later time.
We talked about how easy it would be to tell patients to not brush so that they would get free fillings and such, since during exams all work is done pro bono.
Apparently, telling a patient not to take care of their teeth is unethical.
