"After working as a dental assistant for ten years, Melissa Nelson was fired for being too 'irresistible' and a 'threat' to her employer’s marriage.

“'I think it is completely wrong,' Nelson said.  'I think it is sending a message that men can do whatever they want in the work force.'

"On Friday, the all-male Iowa State Supreme Court ruled that James Knight, Nelson’s boss, was within his legal rights when he fired her, affirming the decision of a lower court."

That is sooooo wrong for her to be fired!

Here is a guy who publicly admits he is married and cannot control himself. Would you want your wife or lady friend going to his practice, not me!

If I were a dentist located near Mr. Peter Problem’s office I would hire this lady faster then a fart in a wind storm and spend a couple thousand dollars on advertisement; on radio, TV and news print informing the whole community their loved ones are safe with him! And naturally reference the court case.

I would take away as many of his patience as possible!

Good marketing ploy Sir SER.

Reminds me of the commercial about
ultra brite .

"Mother had a feeling, I might be sex appealing, so mother never told me about ultra brite"

Oh,.... by the way..... she can clean my teeth anytime

Many patients choose their dentist based on the hygienist, who usually does more hands on work than the dentist.

A lot of Dr. Pecker's patients might have been coming to his practice because of this woman and her looks, skill or personality. (btw, she is nice looking, but I wouldn't say she is irresistibly stunning)

What an idiot this man is, but what I find to be unacceptable is the all male court that says this is a rightful reason for termination. What other decisions are they making in Iowa?

It's all a load of B.S.

But in the end...it may turn out to be a good thing for her.

Watch her land another job doing the same thing....at better pay

And before I forget...her former boss is a dick head.

She's so gorgeous that I'm flying to Iowa after the holidays to woo her.
