WINTER PARK, Fla. — A central Florida dentist is being sued for allegedly dropping tools down the throat of an elderly patient — twice.

Relatives of 90-year-old Charles Gaal Jr. recently filed the suit in Orange County Circuit Court against Dr. Wesley Meyers for neglience. An answering message at his Winter Park office Saturday said he was on vacation.

The lawsuit says the doctor dropped an "implant screwdriver tool" in 2006 and a "mini-wrench" in 2007.

Just little tools. Good thing the dentist wasn’t a diesel mechanic.

I know the meaning of negligence, I was referring to the author's use of neglience. Thanks for your help anyway.

You completely missed the scientific and business point of this post, boy!

That is, that when working on senior citizens, Dentists must charge more. The damned geezers are always eating the tools.

Lucky for us Obama is on the case. After Obamacare no one this old will receive any services except privately insured cremation.

Under Obamacare, after private medical and dental insurance are destroyed, I look for the overall quality of Dental care to degrade in this country. Maybe not as bad as going down to Tijuana, but there will be more dental clinics springing up, the kind you see in the poorer parts of American cities, in order to cope with the massive influx of patients seeking “free dental care”. The dentists employed there will be 2nd tier. The truly competent dentists will cater to the wealthy on a cash basis.

an "implant screwdriver tool" in 2006 and a "mini-wrench" in 2007.

The family wouldn't have been so ticked off if he hadn't added the cost of the tools to the bill.
