ODESSA, Fla. (WFLA) - Where satisfaction, love, and guiltlessness once involved the Odessa home of Gary and Maureen Myers, presently there is a distress filled void.

Four and a half years prior, the Myers lost their 39-year-old child Tommy.

"It's simply been similar to my heart's simply been tore out of my spirit," Tommy's mom Maureen said. "You know, I can't reveal to you the amount we cherished that youngster."

Tommy's demise endorsement states he kicked the bucket from "confusions of multidrug inebriation" and says he was "given medications amid a dental method."

"Someone attempted to treat my child, who was not met all requirements for exceptional necessities, and he passed on," Tommy's dad Gary clarified.

It was Sep. 24, 2014. Gary went with Tommy for a meeting with Dr. Veronica Thompson at Grand Dentistry in New Port Richey.

"He must be quieted with an IV each time that he's gone to the dental specialist since 2002," Gary said. "You know, he's Down Syndrome, uncommon requirements, simple-minded."

Tommy didn't comprehend what was happening around him however his Dad was there for consolation.

"I'd remain behind the seat and I'd keep his shoulders down, you know. He'd take a gander at me and I'd state, 'Tommy unwind,'" Gary mournfully recollected.

Dr. Thompson directed the medications.

"When she put the sedative in him, he began hacking. A genuine profound stifling hack," Gary reviewed.

Gary claims Dr. Thompson guaranteed him there was not something to be worried about. The hacking halted, so Gary sat down in the sitting area.

Inside 40 minutes, his life changed until the end of time.

"They came into the lounge area and said we had an issue," Gary said. "I think they said that he quit relaxing."

Right then and there, paramedics were at that point surging Tommy to Morton Plant North Bay Hospital in New Port Richey.

"He wasn't breathing and he didn't have a heartbeat," Gary said.

"The specialists were doing everything, completely everything that they might," she be able to recalled.

"He had a cylinder in his mouth, he had a respirator, he wasn't breathing individually," Gary included.

"When I took a gander at Tommy, I knew. I realized he wasn't going to returned," Maureen said as her voice broke.

A cleric got some information about the family's religious inclination. Maureen disclosed to her Catholic.

"So a minister came and gave him his last rituals," Maureen said.

Tommy's folks kept him in a coma for two days.

"By this point, his kidneys are coming up short," Maureen reviewed. "He's getting treated for pneumonia, he's getting treated for diabetes."

With no cerebrum wave action and no desire for recuperation, the family chose to expel him from life support.

"It resembles someone tore a bit of my substance out of me, and it's never going to returned," Gary said of Tommy's passing.

"I can't reveal to you the amount we have endured with the loss of our child," Maureen included.

Florida's Department of Health researched Tommy's demise. It claims Dr. Thompson committed a few errors, including giving Tommy an excessive amount of anesthesia too early - multiple times the greatest safe portion for a sound grown-up.

The state says Dr. Thompson additionally neglected to pursue crisis convention and neglected to regulate an inversion medicate. It included she performed "profound sedation" without a grant to do as such.

The training director for Grand Dentistry sent 8 On Your Side this announcement:

"While we can't talk about secured wellbeing data, if you don't mind realize that Grand Dentistry of New Port Richey is focused on furnishing our patients with astounding dental consideration. We solicit that you regard the security from all gatherings included. Much obliged to you for comprehension."

Dr. Thompson has not reacted to our solicitation for input for this report.

"We depended his wellbeing with her," Maureen clarified. "You know, she's had no discipline for Tommy's passing and that is not satisfactory."

Four and a half years after the fact, the state has made no move against Dr. Thompson's permit. Regardless she rehearses at Grand Dentistry.

For Maureen and her family, nothing is left the equivalent. Their extraordinary kid cherished so without a doubt, floated away rapidly once life support was evacuated.

In any case, not before his mom delicately let him know, "Only that we cherished him, rest."
