Introductions (EJ: Erik Jarvis; DD: Derek Daskalakes)
EJ: We are members of the Lexington chapter of the Society of Philosophers in America
DD: We want to invite you Tuesday Nov 13 at 6pm to Northside branch of the Lexington public library, where we will be talking about the ethics of dentistry?
EJ: Why Dentistry?
DD: Well Erik, we’re not just talking about dentistry. We’re talking about the fact that some professionals take advantage of us. Some don’t, but in Dentistry, they’re committed to not commenting on each other’s work.
EJ: If professionals won’t comment on another’s work, how can an individual protect themselves when someone has done you wrong?
DD: We’re going to ask all sorts of questions concerning work and obligations. Questions like…
EJ: What is the difference between a job, like waiting tables and a profession, like being a doctor or lawyer?
DD: if you get an opinion from your dentist, mechanic, or lawyer, should you trust it?
EJ: should professionals be held to a higher standard?
DD: What are the ethics that guide your work?
EJ: We want to know how you would answer these questions and other important queries. Join us at our next meeting on Tuesday November 13th at 6pm at the Northside branch of the Lexington Public Library where we will be talking about the Ethics of Dentistry.
