Now I’ve got something new to be afraid of happening!

Now we know just how carefully we're monitored while we're unconscious and helpless. I'm more shocked at the dental office than the crazy lady.

Sounds odd... how did she “break in” if there was a patient there, I’d guess they were open for business?

Hard to believe the office had $22K in cash sitting around.

Good points. In fact, the whole story sounds pretty hokey to me. She "broke in?" Where were the dental staff? They just sat back and let that happen? Do dentists use general anesthesia? I've never had that in a dentist's office, or heard of it being used, and even if it was, was there no one monitoring the patient?

And that amount of money sounds ridiculous. How many people just pay big amounts, in cash, right there in the office?

Was this a fiction writing contest?
