The Dentist’s Prayer

by

The Dentist’s Prayer Thank you, O Lord, for the privilege of being a dentist, For letting me serve as your instrument in ministering to the sick and afflicted, May I always treat with reverence the human life which you have brought into being and which I serve, Deepen my love for people so that I will always give myself gladly and generously to those stricken with illness and pain, Help me to listen patiently, diagnose carefully, prescribe conscientiously, and treat gently, Teach me to blend gentleness with skill, To be a dentist with a heart as well as a mind. Joseph G. Kalil, D.D.S. (written 1991) Source: ADA Current Policies

In the video she sits down to talk about the future of the Internet and the racial, personal and economic implications of the genetic revolution. Dyson discusses a range of subjects around health and how people given more information can make better choices.
