isn't that eye-doctor?
and whatever the case, the risks should be told to the patient. informed consent after all.
statistically pain management is very safe, and medical procedures cause a lot of stress and discomfort, and it'd be good to manage that especially for patients who are not used to those procedures. (eg. kids, or anyone who gets a chronic disease diagnosis and and has to go through various scopies like colonoscopy).
Odd the article entirely leaves out what tooth was being worked on. The upper back molars are very close to the brain, and Wisdom teeth are connected to the central nervous system, so it is not really a head-scratcher brain damage could occur if the ophthalmologist slipped, or if the patient was hyper-reactive to the anesthesia and jerked while the doctor was working. But in both cases, the doctor should have noticed.
