RE: [ACEsthetics] medical history

A friend of mine had a similar case many years ago. The patient had an extra-oral fistula for many years. No one could find out the cause until this friend put a gutta percha cone in it which led to the lower canine. It was dead centre in a dimple in the centre of his chin. Must have followed a developmental plane ?

I had a case where the MD did surgery on the patients chin to clean out an abscessed folliculitis; or so he thought.  He kept cutting until he reached INTO the mandible; at which time he told the patient that he needed to see his dentist.  The problem was an abscessed lower anterior tooth.  He never looked in the mouth.  Oops!

Does that count?

 

 

You bet!

 

Now I wonder if there's a medical chat list somewhere discussing misadventures of dentists similarly dabbling outside their primary areas of expertise......
