Sad Epilogue....

Oddly, this didn't totally surprise me, which is what sucks about being cynical when dealing with tough patients....

You all may remember the young woman who was hitting me up for drugs last spring?
If not, you can read about it here where I told the story.

Anyway, during my haircut recently, an employee phoned my cell to say, "Hey, wasn't her name....?" as the local paper carried a story about a young woman driving in the morning and colliding w/ a large vehicle. She died that day at a local hospital.

I attempted to upload a photo of the smashed truck/SUV or one of the entire top of the smaller car she drove which had to be removed before they could get to her, but Blogger wouldn't let me for some reason, and, of course, that's for the best.

I won't link you to the article, as it would identify the patient. Anyway, who knows if drugs were involved - I suppose that could come out in a future police report. I have to wonder, but after losing my own brother at 14, it always hurts when a young person is taken before their time, regardless of the causes.

Sorry I don't have more exciting dental news of late; I'll post more later, in August.
