Do your own, hard work.
 
Should you respect a patient's right to get a grill 😀 ?

I've seen it done, it's freakin' crazy!!
 
VCU asks an ethical question you have to write on at the interview. Seems like a lot of the questions are different. Mine was:

You were going through your best friend's medical chart before her dental appointment and you found out she was pregnant but hadn't told you about it. What would you do?

Thats pretty much what I was thinking, but I dont know how to make that sound good. 🙂

By the way, one of the dentists I shadowed said this question or one very very similar was asked at his interview 20 years ago.
 
Pregnancy is too Daytime Talkshow for hardcore ethics. Think Mori Povich or Oprah. 😕

How about: Due to a recent change in Medicaid coverage in your area,about 50% of your patients will soon lose coverage. What criteria would you use determine whether or not to serve a patient anyway, knowing you will either have to work pro bono or put them deep in debt?
