Link works for me.

According to the patient care report, the paramedics said that Paul had told them that Lapinski woke up during the procedure, started coughing and was given propofol. When Lapinski stopped breathing, CPR was started and the paramedics were called. After they arrived, according to the report, the paramedics found two pieces of surgical gauze in Lapinski's airway as they tried to intubate him.

Yet, even Hugh Laurie would know...

It is crucial that the patient is also monitored after Propofol has been administered as it can cause shallow breathing. For this reason, some patients require an oxygen mask while sedated.

Usually, it's a little kid that they kill instead of an adult. Unlike doctors, dentists are allowed to be their own anesthesiologists. Putting someone under, keeping them there, and then bringing them back is no small accomplishment. There's a reason anesthesiologists are so highly paid and also must buy such expensive malpractice insurance. It's not the type of thing someone can master after a weekend seminar, which is about how much training a lot of dentists have with anesthesia.

Jesus Christ. I am SO glad that I've had dentures for 40 years. I wouldn't take my real teeth back, if they were PERFECT, on a large bet. All the work, pain, and low grade infections those things cause! And the 10's of thousands of $ people waste on keeping them. It's NUTS. Between that and the stupid amounts wasted on cars, clothing, housing and utilities, guys could RETIRE, and live WELL, right here in the US, in 10 years, instead of working 40 years, ending up having nothing, having DONE nothing (but raise kids and pay taxes) been nowhere, etc. What a bunch of idiots.

fvck that, that story just made me realize im keeping my wisdom teeth. There is so much calculation that goes into the concentration and volume of anesthesia used per patient its mind blowing. Why the hell would you sedate him MORE after coughing... when your air way is restricted you cough as his way. And there was two fvcking pieces of gauze trapped in his airway, really? God there is a reason dentists are failed doctors. Med schools didn't want them so here they are botching up peoples' mouths.
