An Arizona family has finally been given a payout after their son died following a routine dental procedure, hours after he took a photograph in the dentist’s chair.
Gym junkie Derek Swanson, 40, took a picture of himself beaming alongside the caption: ‘Yesterday, new car. Today, implant! Fun never stops.’
Swanson was excited to get dental implants, but he never woke up from the operation at Scottsdale Facial and Oral Surgery on March 3, 2023.
‘He was so excited,’ his mother, Brenda Swanson, who accompanied him to the dentist, told ABC15. ‘He had fixed a lot of teeth, and they were looking really nice.’
Derek died of a brain injury due to complications of anesthesia administration during the dental procedure, according to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner.
His heartbroken parents, Brenda and Bill Swanson, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the dentist, Dr Derek Lamb, and the Scottsdale surgery.
This week, they settled for an undisclosed amount, finally bringing them closure.
Swanson said that she went with her son to the dental surgery on the fateful day.
Do not go to Dentists, doctors, etc! No vaccines, no pharmaceuticals, etc! It’s all SOLD to help, but it all kills you. The death rate is higher in hospitals than it is in homes. Wake up people!
