Bet you can't guess why.
One would think that could be called assault. Considering she was incapacitated at the time and didn’t consent.
So, it sounds like she won her suit against her boss, the “dentist.” But, the dentist’s insurance company refused to pay on his behalf, saying his joke was not part of the normal course of the dentist’s business. This left him to pay her the damages himself.
But, he sued his insurance company and, in the end, the state supreme court decided 5-4 that his insurance company IS on the hook after all (and must pay MORE to him!).
I’m sure his colleagues are real happy their liability insurance premiums will go up thanks to this idiot’s offbeat sense of humor.
Also, that he didn't show the picture to the assistant after taking it, but showed it to other employees doesn't seem very kind or good-natured.
Apparently he either didn't have a good read of his worker or it was an unkind gesture which got him into a snafu.
This story is worthless without pictures.
Dentist humor is the best.
Uh-oh, another potential piece of the mammoth conspiracy puzzle... ;’)
