Completing this interview was a very positive experience. My partner and I chose to interview a pediatric dentist named Dr. RA. He completed his doctorate of dental surgery at Howard University and did his pediatric residency at the Medical College if Virginia now VCU School of Dentistry. This practitioner was very open and willing to help us out with our project. I worked with Chelsea Aiken and she was a pleasant partner to work with. I feel as though we worked well together and put forth equal effort in completing this assignment.
Our scenario was specific to certain ethical decisions about suggesting certain products in the office. This particular practitioner had a very firm policy when suggesting products to his patients. he explained he would never introduce a product to his patient if it was not going to be beneficial to them. He also made it a point to only recommend products he was familiar with either by personal experience or through research. The one value he held most important was treating his patients like his own children or family, even if it meant paying for a product for one of his patients.
In my opinion Dr. RA was very genuine with his responses and I agreed with the points he made. He practiced the value of beneficence by making an obligation that benefits others. The conversation we had in class after the all of the presentations were very thought provoking. Many clinician make unethical decisions everyday without any consequences. It is very important to consider is those risk are with the outsomes that may come as a result.
