Abstract:
Comments are given on a recent judgement of a medical disciplinary tribunal in The Netherlands. It is stated that the interexaminer variation in the interpretation of periapical radiolucencies is large. Therefore the problem arises if a dentist may be blamed for not detecting a periapical radiolucency on a dental radiograph. A demand for systematic radiographic examination of all teeth with large fillings is also questionable, especially during periodic examinations of the dentition in patients without pain or symptoms of inflammation.

01:08Obedience
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
