Today, I went to the dentist. He asked me to lean my head closer to him so he could get a better look at my teeth. He was hard. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my new dentist. His teeth are worse than mine. FML
Today, I went to my new dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He kept getting distracted, causing him to repeatedly stab me in the gums. He then had the nerve to tell me that I need to brush more, due to how I was bleeding just from his "routine examination". FML
Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML
Today, I was at the dentist's. During my check-up, he recommended a dermatologist. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. Normally I walk out with no work to be done as he says my teeth are always great. I thought it was weird this time that he was scraping and pushing at my tooth when he usually doesn't. I'd walked in with a full set of teeth, walked out with a dentist-caused chipped tooth and a filling booked in. FML
Today, my dentist dropped my bite plate for x-rays on the ground, picked it up, looked at it intently, took a couple of hairs off, and shoved it back into my mouth. FML
Today, I got a boner at the dentist's. FML
Today, I had an appointment with my dentist to check for cavities. He told me that most of my teeth have cavities, and that I may need a root canal. In fact, I ended up actually getting a painful root canal. FML
Today, the dentist sneezed in my mouth. FML
Today, I was flossing my teeth, which I do only to not get yelled at (chewed out?) by my dentist. Dentist I’ll now be seeing later today because the floss broke off a corner of one of my molars. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

@14, 15, and anyone else who doesn't think this is a violation of the physician's promise to "do no harm" well, you're the idiots not me. Yes, I know what I'm talking about; intimately, in fact. As I type this right now I'm working in a law firm that DEFENDS physicians against their licensure boards who behave in this fashion. I have first-hand seen cases such as this one, and multiple that specifically reflect this one. I can bring you files, consent orders, other disciplinary actions, years worth of case law, and point to the specific statutes in administrative law code and state's books to prove my point. It is illegal. It is wrong. It is something doctors, dentists, and other medical professionals (and yes, even med students who have yet to graduate!) have been disciplined for in the past. Being American has nothing to do with my knowledge of this issue. Though our medical system is broken beyond belief, patients still need to know their rights. Sorry to be so infuriated, but people's ignorance on these issues ASTOUNDS me. Good luck making it through the medical field, sounds like you'll need it.

#30 and #21 generalise is the british spelling of generalize. I spell it with an S. There are differences in spelling between the usa and other english speaking countries. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/generalise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences

To the #30 American, us igloo dwelling Canadians, like the actual English, enjoy spelling words like 'realise' with an S instead of a Z. But your spelling is 'spechul' in its own unique snowflake way.

#13 - it was up here on this website... but it tried to searching for it to get the link for you and I couldn't find it! Weird.

Also, just to clarify - I never once said or used the word "sue". Raising a lawsuit against this dentist would go under medical malpractice law, while I am referring to administrative/regulatory law. I said the doctor should be reported to his regulatory board via a patient-submitted complaint, which can even be done anonymously. This does not levy a lawsuit, it does however, initiate an investigation into whether or not the actions of the physician are ethical and whether or not the physician should be disciplined by the regulatory board. I have not made any sweeping generalizations about anyone's culture or dialect and I have certainly not suggested in a sensationalized way that this patient should sue and profit from the experience. I have merely used the legal knowledge I have obtained from years of service to clarify how this patient may proceed from this crude incident with dignity and prevent others from facing such a situation as well. Ya know, other than just posting an FML.

You know, I don't care in the least about your "generalizations." In actuality, they were inferences. However, what bothers me is when you ask whether this behavior is ethical or not. Men get erections throughout the day, usually having nothing to with sexual arousal. It's involuntary. So suggesting that this isn't ethical is like saying blinking is rude because it breaks eye contact... or something.
