Dentist Accused of Extracting Teeth While Riding Hoverboard

An Alaska dentist, Seth Lookhart, is being prosecuted on 17 counts of fraud and "unlawful dental acts." It's one of these alleged dental acts — Count XI — that has moved me.

Court papers filed this week say in or around July 2016, Lookhart "performed a dental extraction procedure on a sedated patient while riding a hoverboard and filmed the procedure and distributed the film to persons outside his dental practice."

[...] What if his hoverboard skills weren't perfect? What if he'd slipped at the vital moment as his tools were gripped around the patient's teeth? Please forgive me if I also mention that hoverboards have been known to explode and catch fire.

  I wonder if he could see Russia while riding his hoverboard doing his dental extractions.

  Well, had his operation failed, he could have blamed it on Russian Hackers and would have the sympathy of the liberal weenies.
