Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Do you remember as a kid where you imagine dentists
- 0:03Speaker 1: as some kind of crazy psychos who enjoy hurting people,
- 0:08Speaker 1: and how they wanted to rip out all of your
- 0:10Speaker 1: teeth against your will. Well, we all know now that
- 0:14Speaker 1: we were just overreacting kids back then, but it wasn't
- 0:20Speaker 1: exactly false for me when one day my childhood nightmare
- 0:25Speaker 1: became a reality, and this experience is something that has
- 0:31Speaker 1: forever left a mark and a trauma on me. Me
- 0:35Speaker 1: and my boyfriend back then moved in together and wanted
- 0:39Speaker 1: to start a new life in a new town. We
- 0:42Speaker 1: both came from poor families with experiences of alcohol abuses,
- 0:47Speaker 1: so we couldn't afford much and we had to work
- 0:51Speaker 1: really hard to sustain our needs. One evening, when it
- 0:56Speaker 1: came back from work, my tooth started to hurt a lot.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I tried to ignore it because I thought I was
- 1:03Speaker 1: just tired and it would eventually go away after some time.
- 1:07Speaker 1: So I went to bed and fell asleep. But in
- 1:10Speaker 1: the morning the pain got worse. I told that to
- 1:15Speaker 1: my boyfriend and he started to worry. We didn't have
- 1:19Speaker 1: any insurance because we hardly even have money for our
- 1:23Speaker 1: basic needs, so for us, this was a big problem.
- 1:30Speaker 1: We started to search through the internet and local magazines
- 1:34Speaker 1: for dental clinics, but most of them were very expensive
- 1:38Speaker 1: and clearly we couldn't afford them. My condition was getting worse,
- 1:43Speaker 1: to the point that I couldn't even focus on my
- 1:45Speaker 1: work most of the time. Desperately, I called to my parents.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I begged them for help and asked to send us
- 1:53Speaker 1: some money, but they refused. By now, you guys probably
- 1:59Speaker 1: know what they were like, and that's the exact reason
- 2:02Speaker 1: why I moved out from there. At the end of
- 2:05Speaker 1: my shift, my boyfriend called me with some good news.
- 2:09Speaker 1: He found a really cheap dentist in town, and he
- 2:12Speaker 1: immediately made an appointment for me. He texted me the
- 2:16Speaker 1: address and told me to be there at exactly seven
- 2:18Speaker 1: pm tonight. I packed my things from work and went
- 2:23Speaker 1: to the bus stop. When I arrived there, I went
- 2:26Speaker 1: into the building and sat down on a chair next
- 2:29Speaker 1: to the clinic room. I could hear two people talking
- 2:32Speaker 1: inside the room, so I decided not to interrupt and
- 2:36Speaker 1: wait for my turn. After ten minutes, some lady just
- 2:41Speaker 1: ran out of the room like she was in a
- 2:42Speaker 1: hurry or something. She dropped her wallet on the floor,
- 2:46Speaker 1: but before I noticed it, she was already gone. Meanwhile,
- 2:50Speaker 1: the door opened again and a pleasant man's voice invited
- 2:54Speaker 1: me in. I'd turn around and I could see a short,
- 2:59Speaker 1: middle aged man with a big smile. I greeted him
- 3:03Speaker 1: and told him about the lady and the wallet she dropped.
- 3:06Speaker 1: He said, oh, don't worry, she was in a hurry
- 3:10Speaker 1: for a bus. You can give me your wallet. She's
- 3:12Speaker 1: a close friend of mine, and I'll give it back
- 3:14Speaker 1: to her. I gave him the wallet and brusht off
- 3:18Speaker 1: the situation. For the next few minutes, we talked and
- 3:22Speaker 1: filed all the necessary papers. I told him about my toothache.
- 3:26Speaker 1: He seems so nice and funny. Then he prepared his
- 3:30Speaker 1: tentle equipments and I sat down on the chair. And
- 3:34Speaker 1: after that things started to get weird. He told me
- 3:39Speaker 1: to open my mouth wide so that he could start
- 3:42Speaker 1: the examination. I don't know why, but it felt like
- 3:46Speaker 1: he was standing too close to me. Besides, shouldn't dancs
- 3:51Speaker 1: sit down on their chair while working too? Then I
- 3:56Speaker 1: felt a rubbing sensation on my arm. It was so weird.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I thought it was his leg, but later I realized
- 4:05Speaker 1: it wasn't. I thought he wasn't doing it on purpose,
- 4:09Speaker 1: so I tried to move my arm a bit, but
- 4:11Speaker 1: his body followed my arm. He tried to chat me
- 4:16Speaker 1: up to distract me from whatever he was doing, but
- 4:19Speaker 1: I could feel everything. Then he stopped for some time,
- 4:25Speaker 1: but a few seconds later he just grabbed my arm
- 4:28Speaker 1: and told me not to move that much. He was
- 4:30Speaker 1: holding me really tight. I had enough, so I gathered
- 4:35Speaker 1: my courage to tell him to stop, but he just sighed. Fortunately,
- 4:41Speaker 1: a few seconds later he released my arm. After this confrontation,
- 4:47Speaker 1: he started to act harsh and rude. He seemed like
- 4:51Speaker 1: he was offended and didn't want to smile anymore. Nothing
- 4:55Speaker 1: really happened after that until I finished my dental appointment,
- 4:58Speaker 1: where he told me to come back again for a
- 5:00Speaker 1: follow up treatment next week. After leaving, I felt so
- 5:05Speaker 1: scared of him and didn't want to go back. I
- 5:09Speaker 1: could see him looking through the window of his clinic
- 5:11Speaker 1: with a really angry or disappointed face, like he was
- 5:16Speaker 1: expecting something from me. I told what just happened to
- 5:19Speaker 1: my boyfriend, but he told me I was just overreacting
- 5:22Speaker 1: and we couldn't afford any other dentist, so I should
- 5:26Speaker 1: be grateful that he found me a clinic that fits
- 5:28Speaker 1: our budget. I knew that he wanted what's best for me,
- 5:32Speaker 1: but as I said, we were in a bad financial situation,
- 5:36Speaker 1: so I couldn't complain and be picky. In this time,
- 5:39Speaker 1: I knew I had to go back there again, but
- 5:43Speaker 1: at least he did his job and my tooth didn't
- 5:46Speaker 1: hurt anymore. Fast forward to my second dental appointment. I
- 5:50Speaker 1: was feeling so anxious right before the meeting, but unexpectedly
- 5:55Speaker 1: he greeted me with the same big smile as before.
- 5:59Speaker 1: We chatted like nothing happened, and he proceeded to the
- 6:02Speaker 1: treatment very professionally. Everything seemed to be okay while he
- 6:06Speaker 1: was treating me this time, he sat on a chair
- 6:10Speaker 1: and didn't do anything weird. In the middle of the operation,
- 6:15Speaker 1: I was looking at him and he seemed nervous. You
- 6:18Speaker 1: were sitting in silence for some time, when out of
- 6:21Speaker 1: nowhere he told me, Hey, I really like your body.
- 6:26Speaker 1: You are just my type. It was so confusing and
- 6:30Speaker 1: it felt so awkward. I couldn't even answer him with
- 6:34Speaker 1: a fully open mouth, but I started to move my
- 6:37Speaker 1: lips and replied, I appreciate your compliment. Then there is
- 6:43Speaker 1: just dead silence. I started to look around the room
- 6:46Speaker 1: and I noticed the wallet. I realized it was the
- 6:50Speaker 1: same wallet that I gave him a week ago after
- 6:53Speaker 1: some lady dropped it on her way out. Something was
- 6:58Speaker 1: wrong with the s guy. My heartbeat was pounding and
- 7:02Speaker 1: I started to sweat. Then he said, come to my
- 7:07Speaker 1: apartment after the treatment, just for a tea. I immediately
- 7:11Speaker 1: knew what was going on, and I replied to him,
- 7:15Speaker 1: thanks for the invite, but I have a boyfriend and
- 7:18Speaker 1: I respect him, so I don't want to hang out
- 7:21Speaker 1: with some other men. Come on, I don't ask you
- 7:25Speaker 1: to go to bed with me just for a tea.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He won't find out, he replied. I refused again, but
- 7:34Speaker 1: he insisted. He was trying so hard to convince me
- 7:38Speaker 1: that he was literally forcing me to agree. The worst
- 7:42Speaker 1: thing was he was holding his dental drill and started
- 7:45Speaker 1: to become violent with it. He started to push it
- 7:49Speaker 1: harder and harder into my teeth. I couldn't see, but
- 7:53Speaker 1: I knew something bad was going on and he was
- 7:56Speaker 1: intentionally doing it to me. I could feel more and
- 8:00Speaker 1: more pain while he was doing this. You will go
- 8:04Speaker 1: with me, right, just for a tea? Just for a tea, Okay,
- 8:10Speaker 1: he was repeating it over and over again. I stopped
- 8:13Speaker 1: replying to him, and now I was just looking for
- 8:16Speaker 1: a way to escape. But I didn't want to hurt
- 8:19Speaker 1: myself with all those tental equipment, so I just didn't move.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I could feel he was drilling in my tooth harder
- 8:25Speaker 1: and harder. I felt like crying from the pain, but
- 8:28Speaker 1: I didn't want to show him that I am an
- 8:30Speaker 1: easy target. Finally, I said to him, Okay, I will
- 8:35Speaker 1: go with you. His face instantly turned from angry to cheerful,
- 8:40Speaker 1: and he said sweet with a big smile, like nothing
- 8:44Speaker 1: had happened. Then he stepped away from me to grab
- 8:48Speaker 1: something from the table, and I took my chance to
- 8:51Speaker 1: hit them on the head with any item next to
- 8:54Speaker 1: my chair, and I ran away from the clinic as
- 8:57Speaker 1: fast as I can. I wasn't even trying to look
- 9:00Speaker 1: behind me if he was chasing me or if he
- 9:02Speaker 1: was still inside. I just wanted to escape from this
- 9:05Speaker 1: crazy maniac. When I ran out of bread after a
- 9:08Speaker 1: few blocks, I stopped to take some air. Fortunately I
- 9:13Speaker 1: couldn't spot him anywhere. Then I realized something was pouring
- 9:18Speaker 1: out of my mouth. It was blood. He did something
- 9:23Speaker 1: to me, and I couldn't see how bad it was.
- 9:26Speaker 1: I slowly placed my finger into my mouth and checked
- 9:30Speaker 1: every tooth I came across something that felt really weird.
- 9:36Speaker 1: I counted all of them and realized that there was
- 9:38Speaker 1: something quite missing. But then I realized he just drilled
- 9:46Speaker 1: my tooth deeper into my gums. I came back to
- 9:50Speaker 1: my house and told everything in tears to my boyfriend.
- 9:53Speaker 1: He drove me to the police station and I gave
- 9:56Speaker 1: a statement. They directed us to the state that clinic
- 10:00Speaker 1: to check for damages. The damages were so bad that
- 10:05Speaker 1: they had to remove my tooth. I couldn't take it
- 10:08Speaker 1: anymore and pursed it out into tears. It was so
- 10:11Speaker 1: hard for me because we couldn't even afford an implant
- 10:14Speaker 1: back then. Meanwhile, the police drove to that guy's clinic
- 10:19Speaker 1: to take him to custody. He insisted that he was innocent,
- 10:24Speaker 1: it was just a medical mistake, and that I was crazy.
- 10:28Speaker 1: He testified that I made it all up. If you
- 10:33Speaker 1: want to know how it all ended, then here is
- 10:36Speaker 1: the harsh reality. Unfortunately, the law system favors the rich people,
- 10:42Speaker 1: and he was only fining a few thousands of punishment.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I bet he had deals with the police too. He
- 10:49Speaker 1: didn't go to jail, nor was forced to close his
- 10:51Speaker 1: dental clinic. I couldn't afford a good lawyer, so I
- 10:55Speaker 1: couldn't do much back then, and this crazy maniac is
- 11:00Speaker 1: still seeing patience. I remember the name of the lady,
- 11:04Speaker 1: drew an ID from her wallet and asked the police
- 11:07Speaker 1: about her. They told me that the lady was reported
- 11:12Speaker 1: missing about a week ago and nothing more up to
- 11:16Speaker 1: this day. All I'm wondering is that what he did
- 11:20Speaker 1: to that lady and how many more women did that
- 11:23Speaker 1: maniac sexually harassed and have physically heard it over the
- 11:28Speaker 1: course of his time operating the clinic.
