[@alexblaze8878]

divorcedme okay I’ll give you a personal example. I used to be a dental hygienist and routinely did root planing (a procedure done to smooth out roots to help the tissue reattach following years of periodontal disease (gum disease). Although there are many minor cases of professional courtesy I gave to fellow hygienists and dentists, one case stands out in particular. A new patient I’m seeing for the first time had undergone a series of scaling and root planing by a hygienist located in the same city as our office about 6 months before. Patients with periodontal disease get check ups every 3-6 months. I’m using an explorer instrument to check her for new or remaining calculus (tarter) and discover she has a large deposit on the backside of her lower right second molar. This tooth surface is notoriously difficult for hygienist due to its location-especially with patients with bone loss. After working on that one tiny area for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to remove a piece of calculus that had been missed by her previous hygienist. Looking back at the patient’s x-rays over the previous years I realized that the calculus was right there on the x-rays dating back 5 years but had been mistaken for an oddity in root anatomy that some patients do have. Had the previous hygienist used a manual explorer and had she been skilled enough, she’d have identified it years earlier which would have aided in the reduction of disease in that area. Instead of telling the patient that her previous hygienist had failed her, I simply told her that “it’s a very difficult area for hygienists to get to and it’s not uncommon for that area to be missed” What I had told her was mostly true but what I didn’t tell her was that her hygienist had been negligent. She had seen this patient 20-30 times over the previous 5 years and missed that spot every time whereas I had discovered it 5 minutes into our very first appointment. So I called the hygienist later that day and discussed this patient and what I had discovered and corrected. I then recommended a specialty scaler she could purchase to help her in detecting hidden calculus below the gum line in that area. I also recommended an advanced course I had taken which I thought might improve her skills. Had I told the patient her previous hygienist had been negligent, she’d have probably filed a complaint with the State Licensing board. No, no one’s life was at risk but I clearly did give that hygienist professional courtesy and probably saved her from having a formal complaint sitting in her licensing file at the state level. This happens ALL the time in dentistry and medicine. Some things we definitely do report but minor ones like the example I gave we tend to handle it privately amongst ourselves.

[@alexblaze8878]

divorcedme my brother is a commercial and residential painter. A painted house (as opposed to one with say vinyl siding) usually requires painting every 5 years or so. He routinely is hired by upscale residential homeowners and sees evidence of neglect in prior painters work on these homes. Example: it’s obvious to him that a previous painter charged the home owner for very expensive paint but used a paint much cheaper and pocketed the difference. Rather than tell the homeowner what he discovered, he simply uses the actual high end paint the homeowner wants and remains silent. Word gets around in this town and were my brother to be known as a painter that rats out other painters...well let’s just say it’s a cut throat industry and my brother would rather not make enemies. Another example of professional courtesy that my brother probably extends at least 10 times a year or more. It’s like this in nearly EVERY industry you can name. Is it ethical? Maybe not but failing to extend these courtesies can make ones life in a given occupation very difficult. Law Enforcement is no different.
