Another reason to avoid the dentist..
A personal friend made an appointment with an NYC dentist. She went to his Bronx office this week and was told to wait in her car. After awhile (about an hour) when she saw other patients leaving she again asked if they were ready for her and was told not yet. As she walked back to her car the Dental receptionist came out and snuck up behind her and with a letter opener or scissor began stabbing my friend in the back of the head. My friend suffered an immediate concussion and fell unconscious to the ground but the employee then knelt down and began stabbing my friend in the face and torso until bystanders approached. At that point the dental assistant fled the scene.Here is the TV news story about the incident.
My friend is at home recovering after surgery and stapling of her wounds. I have photos that are too bloody for TV or here of the wounds. She has retained a personal injury lawyer. A felony warrant has been issued for the Dental employee who as of this writing remains a fugitive.
Dental visits are usually scary enough. Now we have a new fear. Homicidal dental assistants.

Ms.Torres is in my prayers.
Med / Dental staffing is desperate here.
I hope the victim is recovering from her injuries.
