When Sarah Harris went in for surgery to remove her wisdom teeth in the summer of 2020, she must have thought she was in good hands. The oral surgeon she chose, Dr. James Ryan, had years of training, a good reputation and a thriving practice near her Washington, D.C.-area home. As a new patient at 23, she may never have dreamed he’d allegedly watched her when she was just 14. And Ryan would do more than take out Sarah’s teeth. Her family says he would take her self-control and eventually take her life.

    I mostly agree.

    Yes the guy was criminally reckless with the drugs he had access to professionally.

    The rest of this article is just a narrative really.

    Plenty of people do drugs in their 20s. She was getting them from her sugar daddy. Every parent that lost a child to addiction could write a similar story.

    What’s more startling is that users here somehow think that 50 year olds don’t want to party with 23 year old beauty pageant hotties, and that 23 year old beauty pageant hotties don’t want to do drugs and live large with 50 year old dudes.

      Yep. He fucked up because he was in a relationship with an addict who he should not have supplied drugs to.
