Paul Child is now the Former CEO of the CR Foundation
[An Exclusive ME-P “Breaking” News Event]
By D. Kellus Pruitt DDS
If you work hard on a righteous pursuit long enough, in spite of what shy people might think of your motives, sometimes you win one for the community.
I wish Dr. Paul Child, former CEO of the Clinician’s Report [CR] Foundation, the best of luck in his new pursuits.
The Exiting CEO [Dr. Paul Child]
In my latest comment on CR Foundation Facebook, I demanded to speak with an anonymous employee’s supervisor because of her unexplained censorship of my three comments – including important questions about EDRs and HIPAA. A few hours ago, that comment was also censored without warning or explanation.
However, in its place I found an announcement that Dr. Child is no longer CEO, and that co-founder Dr. Gordon Christensen himself is taking over the position.

The CR Foundation Announcement
“Dr. Paul L. Child Jr., the CEO of Clinicians Report for the last 3-1/2 years, will be leaving CR at the end of 2011 to pursue other interests as he continues his contributions to the dental profession. We wish Paul the best in his new endeavors and are pleased that he will continue to serve CR Foundation as a member of the CR Board of Directors.”
The New CEO [Dr. Gordon J. Christensen]
“Dr. Gordon J. Christensen, the Co-Founder of CR, has been appointed to the position of CEO. He will lead the experienced team of over 400 clinicians in 19 countries and 40 son-site scientists, engineers, and support staff. Additionally, Gordon continues to practice, speak internationally, and provide leadership for needed research in CR.”

That looks to me like a heartfelt apology. I accept.
If any dental leader can be honest with dentists about important, time-sensitive issues nobody else will address it’s Dr. Christensen. He’s a good man with high ideals that don’t include hiding the truth about dental products from dentists in order to shield stakeholders from accountability. 
Assessment
Now that you’ve witnessed in real time how even one dentist’s voice can improve our community on a national level, why in the hell aren’t you speaking up, Doc?
If your assertiveness is inhibited by traditional notions of “professional conduct,” let me remind you that in Alaska, high school grads are legally extracting large portions of teeth for US citizens who can-least afford complications.
Good luck with silence in a networked marketplace.
