Say ahhhhh

A dentist with a love for dance nearly killed a patient in New York.

Dr. George Trusty (hello ironic name), a dentist at Syracuse Community Health Center, was drilling Brandy Fanning's left molar when "Car Wash" came on the radio and he began his toe-tappin'.

Suddenly, the drill bit snapped off and lodged itself in her mouth. The dentist used a metal hook to pull it out, but only pushed it farther up, driving it through the sinus and bone near her eye socket. Trusty told her she'd probably just sneeze it out, but was later told in the emergency that if she had sneezed, she could have been blind in her left eye.

Fanning said she sued Trusty because failed on a promise to pay her medical bills. She said she still suffers facial swelling, nerve damage and chronic infections and the case is pending.
