Corporate Caring

You are employed by a large, high-volume practice which provides care for many Denti-Cal patients and working poor. The position pays well and is enabling you to live well and service your debts. The working conditions are reasonably good and you like those you work with.

As you become more familiar with the practice, you find that in many ways patients are being treated badly. They are not given all the treatment options because it is assumed that they can afford only the least expensive care. Often this "less expensive care" is done with unusual time pressures, push to produce, and under less than ideal clinical circumstances.

What stance should one take in this situation?
