Dr. Stephen R. Cobble DDS (License Revoked)
This is a story about a 14 year old child who lost her life because of a 2 wisdom tooth extraction. According to the official Findings of Fact published by the Tennessee State Department of Health (full details available for free with the Tennessee Department of Heath Office of Investigations (615) 253-2699 ), Dr. Cobble and his staff left the heavily sedated child alone in the room after the two wisdom teeth were extracted without any supervision or connection to any type of Monitoring equipment.
The Office staff worker returned to the room, Tori Bush had no pulse.
For this tragic event, Dr. Cobble lost his License to practice Dentistry and paid some fines.

What is even more surprising is that Tori Bush was administered general anesthesia by Dr. Cobble's office and neither he nor his practice had the requisite permit to administer this type of anesthesia!
Dr. Cobble also tried to regain his license in 2005 (Is there a lack of remorse here?)

What is truly puzzling and amazing is that apparently there has not been any civil or criminal charges against Dr. Cobble to date. WHY?!
