An Anchorage dentist was convicted on <\/span>multiple criminal counts<\/span><\/a>, including Medicaid fraud and failing to abide by the medical standard of care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Superior Court Judge Michael Wolverton said the state presented an \u201coverwhelming\u201d amount of evidence during a five-week trial. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, Dr. Seth Lookhart performed a number of unlawful acts. That included sedating a patient and extracting a tooth while he rode a Hoverboard. <\/span><\/p>\n

He then sent the video to several people, declaring that he had established \u201ca new standard of care.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The patient said she did not consent to being filmed and it was \u201cunprofessional\u201d and \u201ccrazy\u201d to perform the procedure in that way. <\/span><\/p>\n

The financial and medical malpractice evidence \u201cwas often supported, and often in excruciating detail, by Lookhart’s own texts, photos and videos,\u201d the judge added.<\/span><\/p>\n

They must drive defensively and obey the rules of the road. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the same standard of care usually applies to all drivers. It does not matter if they have been on the road for ten days or ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los doctores tienen un <\/span>deber fiduciario<\/span><\/a> toward their patients. That\u2019s because of their background and training. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, patients are completely dependent on their doctors. Some basic elements of this fiduciary duty include:<\/span><\/p>\n
