A dentist accused of fondling the breasts of 27 female patients is trying to keep his dental license by arguing that chest massages are an appropriate procedure in certain cases. Mark Anderson's lawyer says dental journals discuss the need to massage the pectoral muscles to treat a common jaw problem. . . .
Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave [administrative law judge Jonathan] Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years.
My first question is, how do pectoral muscles relate to your jaw, which is a bone?
My second question is, why would anyone allow someone to ILLEGALLY fondle them one time, let alone six times? I'd be SO out of there after the first time.

I'd like to see the answer to that first question myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd be out of there after the first time that happened to me, too, chicagolady.
Maybe she had a really poor HMO - and didn't have much option for another dentist and was in the middle of some extension procedure(s) - not that I am in any way excusing this creeps behavior.
ReplyDeleteChiropractors and massage folks say all the muscles are tied together, and tight (cramped) jaw musscle(s) connect to neck and shoulders.
Hmmmm maybe because his massaging my pectorals results in HIS broken jaw?
ReplyDeleteAll muscles may be hooked and jaw muscles connect to neck and shoulder muscles (Reflexology covers that stuff Im sure) but it still doesnt give a DENTIST the right to do it on his own. It does give him the right to suggest the person go to a chiropractor or most definitely to their PCP.
Maybe it was actually helping her jaw,lol. I'm with you. I would have been SO out of there. Maybe he had sedated her and she wasn't sure what had happened at first. I went to a dentist once many years ago and he gave me laughing gas. I don't remember him "doing anything" but something he said after I was back in control made me wonder... he said something about my husband being a lucky man and then grinned at me. I NEVER went back to him!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have gone back if he'd done it the first time either. I'd rather be without a dentist personally!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I can't believe the dentist and the lawyer actually think they have a valid arguement much less a case!!
