'It's crazy!' --Patient of 'hoverboard dentist' testifies in court


Dr. Lookhart pulls out the patient's teeth ...

I took a picture of how I went out to the aisle with a hoverboard and took off the gloves I was wearing.

A female patient named Veronica Wilhelm in the movie was not informed during the treatment that Dr. Lookhart was on the hoverboard and that she was filmed in the movie. Wilhelm said in court, 'You may have been a very good dentist. I'm not dissatisfied with my tooth being pulled out and I'm grateful. But you've done it. It's something you don't get, it's narcissistic, and it's ridiculous. ' Wilhelm was also angry that his son had been unnecessarily calmed down by regular tooth cleaning.

The hoverboard is also called a 'mini Segway' and is very popular in the United States, but in 2016 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than 500,000 hoverboards, and from the hoverboard Many problems have been pointed out, such as a girl who fell down was hit by a bus and died, or a mansion of 1 million dollars (about 100 million yen) was burned down as a cause of a fire.

At the trial, Dr. Lookhart's attorney, Paul Stockler, apologized, 'It was completely stupid to use the hoverboard during treatment,' and 'even doctors who use tools that are much more dangerous than this.' He has not been charged, 'he argued against being punished for using the hoverboard. In addition, Dr. Lookhart has been charged with several medical assistance frauds and illegal dentist acts, and in 2017 he was deprived of his dentist's license.
