Ex-employees say they saved dentist's syringes

Workers testify they were suspicious of Hall's actions with patients

KAREN GARLOCH

Staff Writer

RALEIGH - Two former employees of Cornelius dentist Dr. John Hall became suspicious of his behavior in May 2003 and, over the next few months, collected five syringes from his office that were found to contain his semen, according to testimony Saturday before the N.C. Board of Dental Examiners.

Cheryl Lynn MacLeod of Concord said she found it unusual when Hall began asking her to leave a patient's side to retrieve items that he didn't end up using, when she overheard him telling patients to "swallow" something, and when she saw him take a syringe out of his lab coat pocket while working beside a patient.

MacLeod said multiple patients remarked on the substance Hall had put in their mouths. She and Susie Hillman, Hall's former office administrator, took the five syringes from office waste containers and Hall's lab coat pockets and gave them to police.

MacLeod and Hillman testified on the second day of a public hearing on the state dental board's allegations that Hall violated dentistry's standard of care, engaged in "immoral conduct," and committed "sexual assault or battery" by asking six former patients, including a 14-year-old, to swallow his semen. Five of the six patients testified Friday about their experiences.

The dental board suspended Hall's license Nov. 5, after police began investigating the allegations brought to them by MacLeod and Hillman. In February, the board restored Hall's license with conditions, including the requirement that he cannot be alone with female patients.

After the hearing, the board's panel of five dentists will decide whether Hall can keep his license. Mecklenburg County's district attorney's office and Charlotte and Cornelius police are continuing to investigate.

Hall's lawyers say the dentist has been falsely accused by disgruntled former employees and that he was collecting his semen in the syringes because he was taking Propecia, a drug to promote hair growth. Potential side effects include low sperm count and diminished semen, according to Hall's lawyer, Emerson Thompson of Charlotte.

During his opening statement and cross-examination of witnesses, Thompson suggested the substance Hall asked patients to swallow could have been a dental product.

In a sworn deposition read aloud Saturday, Hall's former dental assistant Rhonda Hamilton described several dental products used in Hall's office and none matched how some patients described the substance.

Most of the dental products Hamilton described would have been suctioned out, not swallowed, she said, and they would have been applied to specific teeth or tissue with a brush tip, not squirted into the mouth.

When Cornelius police searched Hall's office Nov. 5, they confiscated five more syringes with Hall's semen from his desk, according to the board and hearing testimony.

The hearing, which is scheduled for at least five days, continues today and will reconvene next weekend.

If they swallow it, they love you.
If they gargle with it, they're just showing off.

District Attorney : Is that your semen in the syringe?

Dentist: Well, that depends on what your definition of "is" is.

I worked for a dentist that used to use a lot of NO2 on patients, especially late in the day. He had certain patients that he always scheduled late and would send everyone in the office home, while he worked on him. The office manager used to tell everyone never to let him work on a patient alone with the door shut, because she didn't trust him. He proved he wasn't trustworthy with one of the employees, one day.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Perhaps after you have completed the criminal background check?

The Sandy Berger defense: "I accidentally ejaculated into the syringes, and then got them mixed up and accidentally shot them into the patients' mouths. It was sloppy, and I apologise."

I've heard of dentists who like to give too much NO2 and then engage in some kind of sex act with the patients. Hard to believe that the patient isn't aware, NO2 doesn't seem strong enough to paralyze you, BWDIK? I never tried it in ultra strong doses, seems dangerous, you could kill someone with a weak heart.

A former friend of mine worked in a dentist office.
I used to have my teeth cleaned twice a year.
I no longer do so.
I don't let my child face a dentist alone.
Way too many perverted sickos in that area of medicine.
In all areas of medicine, nowadays, actually.
Never trust any self-regulating "professional" industry.

This guy is one sick bastard. Good thing he isn't my dentist...he'd be in the morgue, and I'd be in jail.

The woman knew what was going on and liked it. The employee was not so willing. Dentistry has the second highest rate of suicide of any profession, so I guess it follows that it has the second highest rate of mental illness.

I've found that once the label "bitter, disgruntled, former employees" is used the allegations are likely true!
