A screw loose

[chrish]

A US man is suing a Thai dentist for $350,000 in damages for dropping a screw and a dental implant down his throat during a root canal operation.

Robert Ramos, 56, said he had gone to Thailand last month to take advantage of its considerably cheaper dental costs.
After dentist Kasidis Wachiraprakansakul lost the two metal items, he sent Mr Ramos for an X-ray and prescribed a laxative.

Mr Ramos complained that he had suffered severe diarrhoea when he returned to New York and had to pay $8600 to complete the root canal work.

If you're stOOpid enough to go to a country like Thailand specifically for dental work, then you deserve what you get.

He also paid for a round trip ticket. It can't be that much cheaper. I think he went there to enjoy "other" pleasures as well.

So you're suggesting the root canal wasn't hte only canal he was playing in?

Um...laxatives..what did you think they were going to do? 350k is ridiculous, it would have came out like corn.
