Dental Surgeon Accused of Causing Stroke

An oral surgeon who reportedly performed an eight-tooth extraction under local anesthesia is now being accused of causing his patient's massive stroke. Christopher Ellison reportedly suffered the stroke after the surgery. The patient does have a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes and obesity. The dentist claims that every time the patient's blood pressure dropped, he stopped performing work until it recovered. He later found out that he suffered a left middle cerebral artery stroke.
