Dentist claiming chest rubs appropriate...Is this guy mad or what!!??  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeeshot (2781) 5 years ago

This is an article I just read at http://www.brisbanetimes....

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.

Police say Anderson said during recorded phone calls that he routinely massaged patients' chests to treat temporo-mandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, which causes neck and head pain.

Attorney Robert Zaro told administrative law judge Jonathan Lew at a hearing Thursday that he should let Anderson keep his dental license while disciplinary appeals proceed. Anderson would be supervised by two assistants and would no longer do the chest rubs, Zaro said.

Zaro said Anderson, 48, of Woodland, needs to keep seeing patients so he can feed his seven children and pay for his defense.

The judge made no immediate decision.

Lew suspended Anderson's dental license last month. He was charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery and sexual battery. Yolo County prosecutors are investigating complaints from more than two dozen women who say they also were groped in the examining chair in the last five years.


Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years.

She took to wearing tight shirts with high necklines, "and Anderson would still get in under her shirt and bra," according to a police report.

Well I can't believe he's actually trying to justify his actions. Even if this so called 'pectoral massage' was genuine he should have had the common sense to know to at least ask before doing it. I believe this dentist just used this as an excuse to fondle women. It's funny how he didn't do it to men..just women. What a loser! Also, I don't understand why this women kept going back to him. She wore tight shirts with high necklines? If that was me, I would have jumped out of the chair as soon as he started feeling me up and ran out. What do you think of this story?

Oh that's a bunch of you-know what. What a jerk. The guy should lose his job and face tons and tons of charges, if not jail time. There is absolutely no excuse for that. I'm surprised it went on as long as it did...27 patients! That's disgusting...what a jerk!

With the money he makes from the customers, he should get suit, how unprofessional.

Well, first of all this guy needs to have his license taken from him and he should never be allowed to practice again.
Second of all, why did this woman continue to go to this guy if she knew what he was doing? I would have gotten out of that chair the first time and knocked him out and reported him immediately and then would never have gone back. I would not have worn tight shirts even if they had high necklines.

Your remark is right on target that the woman should have stopped seeing this unprofessional person immediately rather than just wearing different clothes. On the other hand, the creep may have been slightly selective in choosing which women to annoy, choosing those he felt had low self-esteem and would be the least likely to see him for what he was. there is a book called Doc: The R@pe of the Town of Lovell, by Jack Olsen which tells the true story of an MD who very deliberately looked for a community in which the women were known to be passive and ignorant in their relations with men and he actually impregnation patients while pretending to do "exams." In some particulars, the dentist you mention does sound very much like this guy in terms of the way he operated. Reading the book one asks how could these mothers not have known their children were born out of r@pe, rather than having been legitimate, but it was almost like mass hypnosis. In at least one case "Doc" delivered his own daughter and, of course, billed the near penniless patient and her husband. This family brought their little girl up under the same MD's "care" and he impregnated her, too. When he was finally caught, the prosecutors had to narrow their choice of who was going to testify against him down from hundreds of women to just four. Mercifully, he was convicted.

I think some people are decidedly weird, or he gave them a discount... and I think that, had he done that to me, he would have needed a dentist!

Coffeeshot, this is so funny really, and also sad :) Hehehehe, why these women kept going back to him is more than weird, and I have no answer to it. Strange world we share here on Earth ;)
But this guy has a problem, and he should be counselled indeed. he is not OK in his mind, LOLOL :)

That's ridiculous. I know people who have TMJ and have never been fondled. Do we know that he's only given this "Chest rubs" to women? What about men!?

That's ridiculous. I don't know what else to say besides that's just simply ridiculous!

This dentist is really pathetic and should go to jail and lose his lisence. He should have thought about his seven children befor he grped these women. What I think is more pathetic is these women letting him grope them and that woman that wore a tighter shirt to keep him from groping her is most pathetic. they shoyuld have gone to a different dentist and ask about the treatment and reported him.

I'm quizing these idiots because they went back to this guy?? Are they a bunch of morons? Just like you, I'd have been out of my chair and out the door before he could say another word. Gee, makes me wonder about some of these people in our world.
