BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - An unhappy patient severely slashed a Bangkok dentist with a small sword after accusing him of pulling the wrong tooth, police said Wednesday.

Finally, dentists get some of their own...

he should have sliced and diced the dentist with that freaking drill... not a sword
a sword is major mercy that guy had on the dentist

Good to see all the nut cases aren’t all here in the U.S. Seriously that’s so uncool (lawyer maybe dentist that's just sad).

Violence can occur even where one least expects it. It's good to be prepared.

Yes, that is a noteworthy moral to draw from the story.

I concur with Arnisador.

yah but i dont understand who he's referring to...
the poor patient that was attacked by the evil dentist all of a sudden and got an innocent tooth pulled out?
or the evil dentist paying the price?

The thing that always comes to mind when I read this sort of thing is the people who say to me:

"Why are you learning to defend yourself against someone with a sword? Like anyone is ever gonna attack you with a sword..."

and I hafta wonder... did that guy think the same thing?

I'm pretty sure that in any dentist office I've been to there were no Sai's hanging on the walls.

My co-workers brother is a dentist. He said that his brother posted a note on the ceiling's above the chairs. The note read as such "Have you prayed today". Kinda scary.

Yes, but they may attack you with a baseball bat, club, any type of sports equipment, stick or pool cue. You need to modernize all sword training to accompany these things. That would be my answer to them anyway. Plus it improves your hand to hand and your strategic thinking, like chess.

Same answer I usually give... although with the recent outbreak of sword violence I tend to point at it now

 

[Solidman82]

That always works too. Plus it's simply cool to train with a 4 foot razorblade!

If you are lucky enough to have a Hattori Hanzo blade you can also defeat Gogo, O-Ren Ishii, Johnny Mo, and most of The Crazy 88.

 

[Solidman82]

Only if you trained with Pai Mei and have an extreme thirst for vengence.

Machete attacks are increasing worldwide. No joke. It's a frequent news story. Links have previously been posted in the Knife Arts forum, I believe.

Agreed, there have been two murders in my City alone in the last year (one of them done by my ex-best friend in elementary school). It might be because Canadian Tire sells them for $13 a pop.

A couple of years ago a lady was walking around a local town, threatening peole with a sword.

 

[Solidman82]

She wasn't wearing a game of death colored riding suit, was she?

That'll learn ya!
