Dentist Arrested for Misuing Laughing Gas

Dr. Norman Rubin of Long Island, New York was arrested for inhaling laughing gas for non-medical reasons. He was found by a patient

"in a treatment room "unresponsive and drooling, and he had the gas mask on his face," said Lt. Kevin Burke.

Medics rushed to the scene and revived the dentist. Rubin was charged with inhalation of hazardous inhalants.

He later told The Post that "it was a mistake to do," and said he had been suffering from a migraine.

He added that the incident had occurred during his lunch hour, when he wasn't seeing patients.

Rubin's dental license has been suspended several times in Illinois. He blamed that on "six disgruntled patients."

The story also ran at ABC7 online.
