Duplicitous Dentist Or A Man Who Got A Bad Rap?
posted (December 14, 2015)
It raised an uproar last week when news went out that an allegedly deviant dentist, American John Robert Hall was given a license to practice in Belize - this after he pleaded guilty in 2004 to injecting semen into 7 of his patients mouths in the US. He got his Belize license using the name Robert "Bob" Hall - a nickname that would make sure no one found out his spotty history by searching the internet.

But, the residents of San Pedro did find out and they told the San Pedro Sun who worked with Island police to close down his Ocean Dental Clinic on the day it was opened. His Belizean license was revoked thereafter.

Well, Hall defended himself today in a lengthy, three page press release. It says, quote, "I never thought I would be ridiculed, cussed at, and made fun of with harmful threats to me and my dog based on assumptions instead of facts." He goes unto detail what he calls his side of the story starting in November of 2003, quote, "when I was accused of a disgusting and absurd action of placing semen in patient's mouths. I did not do what I was accused of doing!" End quote.

From there he goes unto cite and sample all kinds of evidence including lie detector tests, and a physiological evaluation - which he says both exonerated him. He concludes, quote, "I can walk with my head high because God is walking with me knowing I did not do what I as accused of doing." End quote.

In the 1,400 words of the release, he does not address how he got a license using a nickname rather than his legal name.
