Dental Professional KARE 11 Investigates: Criminal Investigation into death of dental patient

Always unfortunate seeing this in the news. Not placing blame anywhere as there are always things we can't account for. Just unfortunate for those involved.

Edit: per the video - a mobile sedation service was administering the sedation

This dentist was associated with the infamous full arch dentist that lost his license also in Minnesota recently

Very sad for it to happen once but twice in a matter of about 2 weeks is extremely disconcerting.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

This is why I would never do sedation. All the deaths seem to be from it.

What in the fuck is a "mobile sedation service"? That sounds shady as hell

Pretty normal stuff. It's when the anesthesiologist/CRNA/etc brings their own team and equipment to your office to administer sedation.

Wouldn't this all be on the anesthesiologist, then, and not the dentist?

Maybe? The news article doesn't really make any sort of distinction. I guess we'll find out when the investigation concludes.
