thought it was rumors until one of his employees applied to our office and said it was true. That was the reason she was applying. She was a single mom and he was torturing her about her soul not going to heaven. Guess what! That dentist retired peacefully, never took any insurance, charged for Novocain. He sedated a child with brain tumor and she never woke up. That kid was taken to Mayo, nothing happened to his license. I guess Jesus Saves.
