Dentist Under Investigation After Removing Every Tooth From Mouth Of Ex-Boyfriend

Dr. Anna Mackowiak is being accused of a horrific act of vengeance against her ex-boyfriend, Marek Olszewski. The Polish dentist had agreed to treat Olszewski for a toothache despite their breakup just days after they broke up. After being given a high dose of anaesthetic, Mackowiak ripped out every tooth in Olszewski’s mouth. It must be welcomed news for Dr. W.B. Galbreath that there is some other dentist who looks worse today.

Olszewski did not realize what had happened until he later undid the bandages and found that he had no teeth left.
Mackowiak does not appear to have any more legal and medical sense. She proceeded to give an interview and admit “I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions. But when I saw him lying there I just thought, ‘What a bastard.’”

What is interesting is that she only faces a possible three years? This would constitute an aggravated case of assault and battery in the states as well as tortious battery and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. If she had kicked his teeth in, it could have caused less damage but would have been treated more seriously.

In comparison, the dentist recently convicted in using paper clips in root canals faced 15 years in jail and received one jail after pleading guilty. That would seem far less serious that mutilating a patient out of anger.

Clearly, it is a poor idea to go to your recent ex for medical or dental work. However, this crime as the aggravating circumstance of abusing a position of trust.

    Do they send people to jail for kicking in someone’s teeth in Poland? (Actually assume they may do but for how long?

    He should be glad she was not a surgeon and went in to have a circumcision.

    I’ve got a dentist appointment tomorrow. I don’t need to be reading these stories.

    Nal,
    You are safe unless you are dating your dentist!

    Nal,

    No you’re not.

    Is it safe?

    Aside from loss of teeth, this is a hideously painful procedure. I know someone who stupidly followed a dentist’s advice and had all her teeth pulled. She was in severe pain for a week. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer….

    Anon Nurse: one of the most terrifying movie scenes ever….

    amityfessenden,

    I thought that it might help Nal. ;-)

    Funny to compare this thread with the attempted murder of a lawyer thread.

    The Daily News piece JT linked to added this:

    Olszewski, who will get implants, said his new girlfriend could not handle being with a man who did not have teeth — and dumped him.

    If he is as bereft of his senses as American voters are, he will go back to the amorous dentist to have his implants installed, and perhaps play some fiddle music while his gums burn.

    I would make some Pollack jokes but perhaps they would be ill received here.

  13. 15 TalkinDog 1, April 30, 2012 at 2:48 pm

    What would a court give the victim here in jail time if he kicked in her teeth?
    Or broke ten of her fingers?

  14. 16 Anonymously Yours 1, April 30, 2012 at 2:50 pm

    At least orly may have company…..

    What the hell possessed this moron to go to her in the first place?

    OS, you might be right…..

    Nal…. Check up I hope……

    Sydney Pollack goes into a bar …

    He should advertize for a girlfriend who made the same mistake. Both idiots.

    You’ve heard the old Soviet joke: “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.”
    In Polish dental schools: “They pretend to teach us, and we pretend to learn.”

  20. 23 Anonymously Yours 1, April 30, 2012 at 4:15 pm

    Ah ha….m

    This story makes me remember that Oily Tates is runing for the GOP nomination for US Senate to succeed Dianne Feinstein.

    I’ve known my dentist since high school. I’ve put his three kids through college and paid off both his ex wives, and am now paying the lease on his Lexus. Is that overbite?

  24. 27 Jim Clark 1, May 1, 2012 at 5:57 pm

    I am amazed that she could pull any of the teeth while under even a slight dose of anesthesia.

  25. 29 Toby Crane 1, January 29, 2013 at 2:51 pm

    The things I have seen in the dentists in Des Moines, Iowa are great! Thanks for sharing this information.
