Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2004OT: Dentist Hero--David Blank
Some dentists do save lives. I'm proud to say that Dr. Blank, an OMFS, was a classmate of mine. http://www.newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/people/features/9951/  SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 Wow!

Do you think a young white woman would have gotten 7 years in the pen? Fawks > Wow!

He was not a first-time offender, so I wouldn't hazard a guess one way or another. Many have also asked if Martha Stewart would have served jail time if she weren't a celebrity defendant. Steve >> Wow! An amazing story. I'd just say that the justice system is often a little out of kilter. For some things there really is no justice at all. One guy makes an illegal U-turn (that results in tragic injuries) and gets seven years. One guy kills two people and walks away with an acquittal. In "My Business" (Oct./Nov. 2004) there's even a story of two guys serving *EIGHT YEARS* (in US prison) for unintentionally importing lobster tails from Honduras that did not match the exact length and packing stipulations of Honduras (not the US).

An amazing story. Dr. Blank is indeed a hero. Too sad to even comment upon. It would bring a flood of tears for what the world endures. Gail |
