office visit

You were relatively young
to be a consultant and telling
the Air Force what to do!
Did that feel unusual to you?
The military is interesting because in
medicine and dentistry, your rank and
your training might not be equivalent:
There might be general dentists who
are full colonels, and you might have a
specialist who's a captain or major. You
have to recognize both specialty training
and the rank system, so if someone's a full
colonel, you have to approach how you
make recommendations to them differently
than if you were a specialist looking over
a department. It was a good learning
experience for me, now that I'm in the
corporate world with one foot-how to
navigate the difference between someone's
knowledge, experience and their person.

Your experience in the Air Force
also set you on the path toward
being a speaker and consultant.
When I was in the Air Force, the military went through the transition toward
contemporary sterilization methods. I was
a department head and had to navigate
between having my department upended
and applying the new methods.
Back then, we didn't sterilize handpieces; we had one set of instruments and
wiped them off with alcohol. The only
time you wore gloves was in surgery. I
remember the endodontist in our Air
Force clinic defying the higher-ranking
decision-makers, saying there was no way he
could practice endo wearing gloves. They
came back and said if cardiac surgeons can
wear gloves, so could he. Back in the day,
dental offices had carpet in all of their
treatment areas!
