Lately, there have been a few times when I have either been unfairly judged or could have unfairly judged someone else. This is always a tricky problem to navigate especially when you think you know what’s best for the patient and that your next steps could ‘hail you as a hero’…..or does it?
Is it really good practice to not be too quick to judge another’s work, particularly when you don’t have all the information, and when there may be more at play than what is currently before you?
Although it’s really tough to not jump on another colleague’s past dental treatment, at the end of the day, what you say to that patient is super crucial in how the public sees us as professionals. Unless there is a pattern of repeated negligence or harm, how can one doctor be judged based on one case?
Frankly, I don’t believe anyone has a flawless track record, seriously, no one. This episode considers helps us consider how to be kinder to each other and protect the image of the profession at the same time. Let me know your thoughts!
We cover all these topics and more in this super fun episode! Share this with anyone who maybe needs this now or in the future!
