re: Y'all know of anything that was swept under the rug at your school or work?

At one of the dental offices I worked at years ago, a dentist pulled a permanent canine on a little girl when he thought he was pulling a baby tooth. Of course, he put it back. In many cases this works out fairly well - put the tooth back, splint it for support, do a root canal - but other problems ensue such as ankylosis and discoloration. I don't think the parents sued. Anyway, the only people who knew about it were him, the kid and parents, and his assistant. He SWORE his assistant to secrecy. Of course, she blabbed it to everyone in the office, but to this day he still thinks he covered it up and that no one knows.
