1). Patients Are a Virtue■Many years ago at dental school I wrote a sketch for the hospital Christmas Revue about a lady with the first name of Patience who married a man with the surname Patient.Attempting to make an appointment in a busy department of the dental hospital she had to keep holding on the telephone and thus became Patience Patient the Patient Patient.( )■When I travel on a train or a plane I think of myself as a passenger， when I eat in a restaurant I am a diner and when I consult a health professional I am a patient.Am I old-fashioned? ( )Do the majority of those who seek our help， care and treatment on a regular basis think of themselves as patients or as consumers?■( )Thus various parties involved in dentistry have become muddled of recent times about the meaning of service in the context of dental practice.Way back in the last century we were all shocked by the contentions of certain business gurus who declared that dentists were in competition for the spending power of consumers who might instead choose foreign holidays or haircuts over dental care.The consequent tailspin resulted in acres of new carpet being laid in waiting rooms (excuse me， reception lounges) ， hundreds of pounds being spent annually on floral displays and gallery-worths of prints being nailed to practice walls to make the whole “patient journey” more palatable.■While this may have been the beginnings of treating patients more like people and less like items on a conveyer belt， it did not and should not have heralded a change in the actual dental care they received.( )the outcome remained the same； quality clinical dentistry provided by a trained and experienced professional.I am sure that the overwhelming majority of the patients of every reader of this editorial choose to return to see him or her for advice and treatment not because they are reminded of a supermarket chain， nor because they have gone to a price comparison website to discover if they are getting the best deal， but because they like and trust you.■What we each like and trust varies enormously， that is the nature of the human condition.Amongst these decisions are the supermarkets we patronise， or not.W hat makes us choose?( )Probably a combination of all these things and probably a similar process of selection as we might make in choosing， and maintaining， visits to a dentist or dental practice.■So， there is nothing wrong with choice， ( ).The key essential here is that dentists are competent and that the treatment they provide is safe and effective as dictated and guided by scientific rigor， regulation and standards as generated and applied personally， institutionally， legally and ethically.I get the feeling that there is a lack of perspective at work here.As I have written previously the current furor over the rise in complaints needs to be set against the background of the huge number of dental professionals registered and the millions of courses of treatment successfully provided in the U.K.year in， year out.We need to differentiate more carefully though.Failure to provide good clinical care is quite different from a complaint that someone in the practice“looked at me in a funny way.”■Patient care is something that we are individually and collectively extremely good at.( )We must be clear and vocal that this is quite different from customer care，client care， consumer care or any other type of care.Patience was under no illusion all that time ago and her care is as relevant to us today as it was then.( )
