Natalie is suffering from a toothache. She goes to see Dr. Mark, the local dentist. Mark examines Natalie and tells her that the tooth needs to be extracted. Natalie asks if the procedure will hurt. Mark replies, "Not much
I will give you something to help block the pain." Mark injects Natalie's gums with a deadening agent and then proceeds with the tooth extraction. Despite Mark's assurances, Natalie finds the procedure very painful; so painful that upon leaving the dentist office, Natalie goes to the local police station and demands that Dr. Mark be arrested. Dr. Mark has committed:
A) no offense because Natalie consented to the medical procedure.
B) aggravated assault because he removed a body member, the tooth.
C) deadly conduct because Natalie could have bleed to death from the tooth extraction.
D) assault because he recklessly caused bodily injury to Natalie.
