For legal reasons I'm sure the dentist isn't telling his story to the press until the lawyers have their say, as much as he may want to.
Somewhere on this board we have a thread about peoples dealing with the press and how fucked up the stories were that came out vrs what really happened, I don't see how this would be any different.

I can see where you are coming from. I know news stories can be screwed up by leaving out important bits to give a bad impression, using ONLY the facts wanted. I don't think the news people could say this statement if it wasn't true. If he did not use a blood pressure cuff or heart monitor than there was a lack of care. If he did use those things at all, then could the new people say that he didn't?? It would be false to say that he didn't and could be called slander or false reporting, or a number of other things. Now I would like to see WMAQ's actual report. Since it was quoted from another report, could that statement be something that WMAQ quoted from the mother who was lying?? In that case WMAQ wouldn't be lying but would be only quoting a participant of the story. I can see there being a question if that is the case. I am eager to see the final result of this story.
I'm curious as to why the mother was let back into the room and the child just lying on her side?? Why would the staff not have checked on things and called assistance ASAP when they were finished?? Why didn't they check her vitals? And if they did, why was the the MOTHER to discover there was something wrong when the staff should have already known it? Something still doesn't sound right, even if the staff had the monitoring tools necessary.
