This is yet another case illustrating the mind-boggling decline of America's profit-driven health system.
A Florida dentist is accused in a lawsuit of dropping tools down an elderly man's throat - on 2 separate occasions.
The complaint says the dentist dropped an implant screwdriver down the patient's throat in 2006 - and dropped a small wrench in 2007. According to the complaint, the man had to have several medical procedures to remove the tools. He never recovered, and he died in 2007.
Later, Florida fined the dentist $17,000 for negligence.
It really is now or never with health care reform.

I bet the guy had pica (a weird eating disorder causing people to eat things that aren't food) and blamed the dentist.
