Dr. Mark K. Anderson is a dentist who has been charged by a number of women with being groped while in in the dentist chair. His family, neighbors and church are stunned by the allegations. He insists that he was practicing good medicine. He claimed that in an exam for temporal mandibular joint disorders, (TMJ) he routinely checks patients' upper chests and massages their tight muscles, the memo says.
In documents filed with the dental board, an expert said massaging a patient's chest is an "extreme departure" from standard practice.
Police said another patient, 36, reported that three years ago she saw Anderson for TMJ problems. He told her that her neck, shoulder and chest muscles were all connected to her jaw, and he massaged all three.
Being so thorough in his examinations, I wonder, did he perform that service for his male patients as well?

This post made me laugh. I go to a massage therapist to relax my own jaw...and though he works all up and down the side of my face, neck and shoulders...he has never once massaged my chest 'muscles' to relieve that tension.
Thank goodness!
I have TMJ...if his reasonings were actually true I'd consider finding a boyfriend simply to do the massage part (as having a perfect stranger might freak me out) but I'm pretty confident that this isn't the case. LOL. This man is really, really stretching. I know he's a dentist but is he a massage therapist as well??? Hmm...since when did dentists get degrees in massage therapy, too??
