Do people still click on suspicious email links? They sure do! Aspen Dental had a large data breach. We talk about how offices of all sizes can be hit by this. The importance of patient safety comes up as we discuss a very sad patient death coming out of Washington state. We end on a light note - did you know that Kevin has Nigerian blood in him? Perhaps he's sending the emails out to practices .... hmmm. 

As always, more info is in the links below. Thanks for listening!

Why is it that when you hear about unlicensed dentistry gone wrong it's from the back of someone's car or from some hotel? We discuss another one of these stories and then swing over to a respectable dental school to celebrate a milestone. 

We round out the episode with dental history knowledge! But of course, in our own flavor. As always, more info is in the links below. Thanks for listening!

What's your responsibility when your boss is about to be featured on Dateline? Kevin and I pondered the employee obligations of the Colorado dentist accused of killing his wife via poison. We aren't seeing too much of this in the traditional dental journals but we're not afraid to bring it up. Don't worry - we actually got serious about the topic though. We hear from employees who see shady behavior all the time.

Another example is the just-sentenced Knoxville dentist who instructed employees to go against dental guidelines when seeing patients. There are times when you have to take a stand.
