Man wakes up after five-hour dentist visit to find all his teeth removed

OMG! The poor guy had all of his teeth removed! I can't imagine that. I am so fussy, I had an expensive implant put in for a tooth you can't even see.

Man wakes up after five-hour dentist visit to find all his teeth removed

 

In the good ol' US of A we would sue the dentist into the stone age. I wonder how things like this shake out in the UK.

 

Still, I'd say it's better than waking up without your dilly-whacker.

 

Geez! I think I would prefer to die from cancer rather than have my wang removed.

 

I hope the pitbull he hires for an attorney has plenty of teeth.

 

In fairness, I read up on this case a bit more. The surgeon he sued didn't remove it. He cut off one inch because it was so messed up he couldn't get a catheter in and needed to send the growth for a biopsy. He followed up with another doctor who removed the rest.

The guy ultimately lost the lawsuit, and the appeal, because even the doctor who removed his junk admitted that the first doc (the one he sued for taking off the one inch) saved his life by removing it.

Of course, it's also possible that the one inch was most of it...

 

What has this to do with the UK?

First few words of the article (the one about teeth) : "A man in Indiana was rushed to hospital last month ..."

If it did happen in the UK - I imagine the dentist would be sued into the Bronze Age, or maybe the Early Iron age. I'm from the UK, originally. :smile:

When I was on a British Airways flight, every thing was cool until they fed me cold fish (not cool) instead of the beef I ordered, I guess they ran out of it by the time they got to me. An acquired taste I suppose :smile:

 

Ay Neuahaus! Travieso :smile:

Since you brought up penis removal, it got me to thinking about penis reconstruction and I found this article:

British Man to Get New Penis Created From Forearm Tissue - Sexual Health Center - EverydayHealth.com

" Other candidates for this type of surgery: Men needing construction after penile cancer, or someone who had a traumatic accident and had their penis amputated. “We see that once in a while, but it’s pretty rare,” Gonzalez said.

Then for some strange reason, I got to thinking about that John Wayne Bobbit guy. His wife detached his penis after finding him in bed with another woman I guess.

I heard this song playing in my mind:

Holy smokes. I'm probably going to start having nightmares since I have an over active imagination.

 

Thank you for pointing that out. I read the article, didn't notice where it had taken place but DID notice that the article was in the International Business Times which, naturally, has a UK domain extension. So I'd say my silly brain kicked in and filled in the rest without concerning itself much for accuracy.

 

I believe she accused him of repeated physical abuse and decided to "cut him down to size" after a fight they had when he came home drunk.

He tried to parlay the event into a career as a porn actor. She went on trial again for hitting her mother.

The long and short of it (the puns really do write themselves!) is that this wasn't a disagreement between two intellectuals over the finer points of Chaucer. I mean, come on, who uses an 8 inch knife for a job like this? That would be like using a sword to cut an apple. A paring knife would have given her much greater control. If you can't control your impulses at least use the right tool (OK, that last one was it, I promise).

Scene in a night school class: "Sir, do you have a question or are you just glad to see me?"

 

No problem, Neuhaus. :smile: Doesn't make you silly-brained at all. Anybody (including me) could make that mistake easily. My beef is with people in politics and the media who seem to make entire careers of "filling in the rest without concerning themselves much for accuracy."
