I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to your favorite dental podcast. I told you at the end of last episode that I've been holding a secret trump card all this while. This episode will blow your mind. Jaz's Introduction:I mean, it's such a great fun chat. I mean, any episode with Zak Kara, we know we love that one. The main guests we have today who has an interest in law and ethics is Dr. Shaun Sellars. Shaun is actually the host of a podcast called Incisive Decisive, and I know you will learn so much from him today. Over this two-part episode, we're going to cover RECORD KEEPING and EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE in this episode. And the next one, we're going to talk all about CONSENT and how intricate consent can be. And they're both really fun chats. Actually, when I listened back to them, six months after recorded, I was just laughing at myself. And the reason why it was a big delay was, I was kind of testing some of the softwares and record keeping, best ways to record keep. I'm kind of working on something behind the scenes. I'm not starting my own product or anything like that, don't worry. It's more in the sense of trialing, which is the best way to record your notes. So, I can make my workflow easier. And so far I've been enjoying Loom, and I'll tell you more about how I'm using Loom as part of presenting treatment plans a bit later, in the episode probably in the middle somewhere. But what I want you to tell you about the guests that we have on Shaun Sellars and Zak. And the kind of chat we have, is all about how we can build better rapport and how it's this concept we discussed in the podcast of having a different mask. Like we dentists, we wear a different mask, when we're communicating with the receptionist, when we're communicating with a patient A and patient B. We have to wear a different mask. And that's what makes dentistry really challenging that we have to communicate differently. And actually, we should be communicating differently to each and every person, because every person is unique. And if you want to be a really effective communicator, I think we all were in agreement in this episode that you have to speak to everyone and communicate to everyone differently. Shaun also teaches us about something called the Peak End Rule.
