Please read the comments. Marissa's grandmother is in so much pain.
It has just 22 days since 13 year old Marissa Kingery, stopped breathing, became unresponsive and later removed from life-support in Dr. Henry B. Mazorow dental office. Some say Marissa had been stopped breathing for 8 minutes before paramedics were called.
It's only been 5 days since her young body was lowered into a 6 foot deep dark hole in a cold and frozen cemetery by grave diggers after her loving family said their final goodbyes.
Has this slowed Dr. Mazorow?
No. This old man continues to see patients. He's not skipped a beat. His staff hasn't even been had enough time to recover from watching a child die right in front of their very eyes. [Please, God, tell me his support staff does not include an 80 year old wife as well.]
Senile? Dementia?
Maybe Dr. Mazorow is senile or suffers from dementia and doesn't remember killing Marissa. That would explain the madness demonstrated.
Senility is all I can think of that would explain why an 81 year old man, having had two dental patients die under his care, get up the next day and head to the office.
Dr. Mazorow was 68 when Rosemary died in his care
Thirteen years ago, Dr. Henry B. Mazorow settled a wrongful death suit for causing the death of 57-year-old Rosemary T. Johnson. The cost for that killing was $550,000.
Five years later, all evidence of any Dental Board reports, investigations or hearings were sent to the incinerator. [I doubt they were shredded at that time]
That same year, Dr. Mazorow was 68 years old and Marissa Kingery of Elyria, Ohio was born.
Dr. Mazorow was at least three years into his retirement and drawing his monthly social security. Yet he was still heading to the office sedating patients and putting lives at risk.
Had he stopped at his retirement age, he could have stopped practicing dentistry without any deaths. [Unless there are others we are unaware of or there is a more sinister reason]
High Hopes Dashed
It was reported that he had agreed to stop performing general anesthesia and IV sedation surgery on patients and there was a collective sigh of relief across the country.
Hearing that news, gave high hopes that his mind had cleared enough to recognize it was time to step away from the drill.
However, that is not the case. He continues to treat patients awaiting a ruling on the actual cause of Marissa's death. Is Dr. Mazorow swimming in Egypt? [Denial]
Apparently, Dr. Henry Mazorow believes he and/or his staff had little to do with killing Marissa. He appears to be staged at the starting line and ready to continue with his reckless ways as soon as his attorney feels it's safe.
The coroner states the tentative cause of death was "lack of oxygen to the brain" and is awaiting results of other tests. Hopefully someone will be testing Dr. Mazorow relatively soon.
It's reported that the Ohio Dental Board is performing an investigation, but those of us who follow these deaths realize there is a 99.999999% chance nothing will happen and in 5 years any paper trail that an investigation was even initiated will disappear in a shredder, never to be seen again.
I hope the Ambulance is sitting in the parking lot or at least installed a hotline directly to his office. As can be heard in the report "Marissa Not His First" you can hear the EMT's say they are there all the time.
Pray.
