Today, my dentist dropped dead of a heart attack. This depressing event was made worse by the fact that he collapsed while his hands were in my mouth. FML

Hey, OP here. So as a quick update, there are several things I want to add. 1. My dentist was 65, very healthy, and his passing was very unfortunate. But now he's with his wife, who passed away from breast cancer about three years ago. 2. It says 'Employee' at the top because my mother was one of his dental hygienists, and I had worked for him as a secretary for a few months before he died. 3. The dental hygienists in the office obviously started CPR right away. They even shocked him twice, but he wasn't responding to anything. Paramedics took him away in an ambulance, but nothing they did was successful. It's quite ironic because my dentist always used to joke that he required his hygienists to have lots of CPR training, etc, because he was the one who was going to need it. We always thought he was kidding, but unfortunately, that was exactly what happened. 4. For those of you saying 'she deserved it' or 'why didn't she start CPR,' or 'her breath killed him lol,' understand a few things. One, I don't see how I deserved it, but that's your opinion. Two, I'm 19, I don't know how to perform CPR, and within a minute, there were three certified, trained, professionals tending to him. Three, even if it was possible to kill someone with your breath, my mom is a dental hygienist. My teeth are quite nice, if I do say so myself. Thanks for all your nice messages, and I hope you never have to experience something as terrible as I did.

Wow. This is truly unfortunate. There weren't any signs of his heart attack?
Wowxoxo 17
I'm sure OP doesn't know her dentist's personal medical history.. The only possible signs I could imagine is he's overweight, old, and/or he died of sudden death.

Death really does mean shit. My mother couldn't die now and I wouldn't cared. In fact I could die and what would it matter. Death hits us all so why care anymore? Just got to accept it and not give two *****.

Brush up on your English, and try not to be so depressing, please. Just because we all die doesn't mean we shouldn't care. Calm down.

I love your SN especially with the media coverage on that case. :p and you talking about dealing with death. Loaded if you ask me.
Treveyon56 14
To 83 sorry about the English I sometimes have trouble typing on my phone with my big fingers. About the part you called depressing, it is nothing but realization to me. Death isn't anything new so why care about?
ElricMustang 23
There are a lot of things that have happened before; we shouldn't care about anything?
Treveyon56 14
I don't say that, but whatever. I'm only here on this planet because of chance, nothing more than that. So I don't care for anything nor anyone. Take my comments anywsy you want because I know my comments will get downvoted because the way I look at life is wrong to most.

This has bad written all over it... I guess there's no hand or foot fetishes in your near future OP.

Were you wearing a low-cut top at the time? If so, it could be considered the murder weapon.

How do 37 people think you deserve it? Anyway I hope he wasn't using that sharp ass tool that picks at your teeth when he collapsed. I'm sorry for you

#24, I'm guessing they are from that major industrialized nation that is notorious for avoiding going to dentists.

I hope they gave you TWO lollipops as you were leaving. You earned it!
