Dentist's license suspended... up to $40,000 in fines.

CHICAGO - State regulators have suspended the license of a dentist whose 5-year-old patient fell into a coma in his office and later died.
Dr. Hicham Riba’s practices posed an “imminent danger to the public,” the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation said Friday. It said Riba failed to properly monitor Diamond Brownridge’s blood pressure, pulse and respiration during her treatment Sept. 23 at his storefront clinic.

Fucking dirtbag. Careless, careless, careless dirtbag.

Riba, 40, faces up to $10,000 in fines for each of four violations, which include making false or fraudulent representations, professional incompetence and gross malpractice.

$40,000 for killing a 5 year old girl? Seems cheap... though the fines aren't the real problem... the family will fleece him in court.

State regulators said Diamond received two injections of diazepam or Valium within five minutes, followed by oral Valium, lidocaine, several other medications, and nitrous oxide. The regulators did not say whether the combination or the dosages were appropriate for the 35-pound girl.
