An oral surgeon settles a suit he feels was motivated by a financial dispute

“Mills has a congenital deformity of her right ear. According to her complaint, Israelsen removed her ear remnant and put three titanium implants into her skull to hold a silicone ear that would match her other ear. An infection developed and bone grew around the implants, she said in the suit.

Israelsen countered that the suit was motivated by his financial dispute with Mills over her unpaid bills, and said Mills’ implants were not infected during his treatment.” (via CuriousJD)
