Dentist claims breast rubs appropriate

[baldguy]

WOODLAND, Calif. - 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.

9. While I think this defense is laughable, I know exactly what I'd say to this question...

TMJ affects vastly more women than men, so my client just never had the opportunity to massage male chests.

7. Fondling of breasts may not prevent jaw problems.

But why take the chance.

8. The Union of Professional Breast Rubbers would officially like to distance itself from dentists.

We are trained professionals. Dentists are just trying to move into our territory. Do not be fooled. A dental degree does not provide for the (professional) rubbing of breasts. Please, leave this matter in our hands.

11. One more reason..

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

I'll be willing to bet he also has a messy and expensive divorce pending.

21. Here's another take on dental breast rubs.

In college I had a horrible toothache. Didn't have a car, so went to a local DDS with an office on the "strip", a street of college bars, restaurants. I get in the chair and his assistant comes in, tight white uniform, and stacked. She lowers the chair and begins to get ready for the doc to come in, begins doing the dental hygieneist deal. She keeps reaching across and her boobs keep brushing against, "This is great!" I'm thinking.

Doc comes in, takes a look, "Yep, a cavity, we can fill it now. Have you ever had nitrous?" This was too good, I'm going to get high, and the assistant is a total babe and those boobs!!!

He starts in. The guy must have been a wrestler, or a backhoe operator, or something worse. He's the absolute most brutal dentist in the world. He's using my lower jaw as a fulcrum, pulling, digging, I'm groaning, kind of loopy high, and yet those boobs!

It dawns on me: He's such a hack, he needs all the frickin' distractions he can come up with. Cavity gets fixed, I'm out $50, the assistant is a stuck up bitch.
