Poor guy.
I do …
Poor guy.
I do hope that doctor had his license revoked…
The doctor should …
The doctor should be preparing the documents to establish a treatment plan, not the patient.
is it necessary …
is it necessary that a patient prepare a contract in writing with the dentist for a dental implant stating the scope of work? if so, what terms should be stated in the contract?
well, i believe …
well, i believe this man no longer has any teeth, I’m a going to ume that some of the implants that the a hole dentists are good and are actually capable of supporting a denture of some sort. I hope this guy got enough money to get his life back on track
Thank you. There is …
Thank you. There is always more to the story than you can tell in a 3 minute spot.
Nice case. Should you need a case evaluated for injury and liability, lets talk.
The patient was not …
The patient was not asymptomatic. He kept feeling air going in and out of the roof of his mouth every time he took a breath. He developed multiple sinus infections and was given antibiotics.
The implant in the sinus had to be removed by going through the roof of the mouth, then allowing sufficient time to heal.
The dentist didn’t restore the implants because he abandoned all of his patients. The patient had no money to pay for restorations from another dentist as he had already pre-paid.
just one question. …
just one question. If the patient only found out about the implant in the sinus from another dentist, that means he was asymptomatic. Why did the dentist NOT restore the remaining 19 implants? If two implants are too close together (very common), the dentist can skip one. Why was this case never finished? the patient had 19 fixtures! why no bridge? Thanks!

:’( poor man .. i am 20 years old and got a wrong tooth removed :’( the dentist checked nothing this happened 2days ago i’m still crying about it since im only 20..
It seems like with …
It seems like with the technology of this age, new teeth would not be so complicated. I mean, you can get a bew heart or kidney in one day now, but nice new teeth are only for the wealthy. It sucks.
A lesson might be …
A lesson might be not to go with the lowest bidder when the job involves one’s health.
What was so crazy …
What was so crazy was that the dentist didn’t even know he had put the implant into the sinus. The patient noted that he felt air in his mouth through the roof of his mouth whenever he breathed. The sinus then got infected and when the patient went to an oral surgeon, he took an x-ray and what do you know?
“Hey, do you know you have an implant sitting in your sinus?”
“No,” was the reply.
Wow, that really is …
Wow, that really is a horror story! How the heck did a dental implant get in the poor guy’s sinuses? Thats even crazier than the “traditional” per se malpractice error of leaving a surgical sponge inside an abdominal surgery patient, because- dental implantation does not require invading the sinuses! Gah.
But I bet it felt nice to be able to help someone (the client) who really needed it
Thx for the video, …
Thx for the video, now at least I know to get a CT scan..
That doctor should lose his licence!
I find it amazing …
I find it amazing that you make no mention about the general dentist who treated this patient with total disregard for the standard of care.
You have focused your comment on the victimized patient, who does not have a formal education and certainly never went to dental school.
Our insurance rates do not go up because of uninformed patients, but rather because of: (1) Negligent doctors and (2) Insurance companies that don’t manage their money well.
Congratulations, …
Congratulations, you’ve successfully represented an un-informed idiot. No wonder our insurance rates are out of this world.
great video gerry …
great video gerry thank u for posting! i’m learning quite a bit from you and i appreciate it!! this particular horror story is yet another reason i chose to remove myself from the medical field after 12 years (1990-2002)…TOO MUCH INCOMPETENCE!
And that was cash …
And that was cash too.
Damn $22,000. …
$22,000. that’s a minimum $75,000 in my practice. No CT scan!!!!!! He should be shot.
Im sorry to hear …
Im sorry to hear that. I think that DDS should have lost his lice. I am happy to hear everything ill be fixed but sad to hear that he has to suffer getting all that surgery.
oh so sad for him..
oh so sad for him..
Ok point taken, I …
Ok point taken, I was eating my dinner at the time (it didn’t look that appealing the 1st time around!!!)
was just intrigued to see it-perhaps i need psychotherapy not pictures lol
thanks for the reply
Lee.
Thanks Lee. I chose …
Thanks Lee. I chose not to include photos of this man’s mouth as it really is gut wrenching and not very pleasing to look at. The doctors call a mouth with no teeth “edentulous.” Believe me when I say that the informative video is better presented w/o graphically showing the inside of the gum and mouth w/o any teeth; just little metal nubs that stick out like pegs.
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Gerry
this video would be …
this video would be more interesting with pictures of the mans teeth(or lack there of) great presenting skills though .
MAN! POOR GUY!
