I hate to blame the victim, really I do… but when you dump your girlfriend, a dentist, for another woman, and then make an appointment with her a few days later for oral surgery…

(Adding insult to injury: his new girlfriend left him, because she didn’t want to be with a toothless man)

“Mackowiak is currently being investigated for medical malpractice.”
Gee, ya think?
I was thinking it should be a pretty quick investigation.
At least he wasn’t going in for a colonoscopy.
Or a vasectomy.
I’m not saying it was wise of him, but that was evil. It’s the equivalent of taking someone who dumped you and beating them until they’ll have serious scars for the rest of their life. She shouldn’t be up on medical malpractice; she should have to face assault and battery charges.
Further research has proven that this story was fabricated, see the Urban Legends website: http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/dentist.asp

Here’s an interesting article about previous hoaxes.
Just for the record, I’m hanging onto the concept of the Boiled Bunny Award, even if the fictitious Polish dentist is ineligible.
