Doc moved to Dallas, Texas, and quickly picked up his instruments again as he started work with Dr. John A. Seeger. However, his dental career came to a screeching halt as the coughing spells from his disease began to scare patients away. Even though universal precautions wouldn’t be adopted for another 100 years or so, these patients had the good sense not to let someone with active tuberculosis cough into their open mouth. Doc Holliday was forced to find another way to earn a living. Naturally, he did what any dentist would do and turned to a career in gambling. An intelligent man, Doc was a successful gambler. Doc was made miserable, however, by the knowledge of his impending death. Moody, a heavy drinker and with no fear of death, he perhaps was more prone to the life he came to lead. Knowing he had to protect himself, given his dangerous occupation and his disease-weakened body, he began to train with a six-shooter. He quickly gained a reputation as word of this nearly 6-foot-tall, gun-slingin’ dentist spread like wildfire. After his first accounted gunfight on Jan. 2, 1875, when Doc and a local saloonkeeper had a disagreement that quickly turned violent, Doc became increasingly fearless and dangerous. While several shots were fired, neither Doc nor the saloonkeeper was struck and both men were arrested, reported the Dallas Weekly Herald. Initially, the locals thought the gunfight was amusing, until just a few days later when Doc got into another disagreement, this time killing a prominent citizen with two aimed bullets. Only Wyatt Earp strolled out of it unharmed. Despite the name, the gunfight actually went down six doors west of the rear entrance to the O.K. Corral, as well as in the middle of the street. Shots were fired, and bullets flew for about 30 seconds. Ike Clanton filed murder charges against the Earp brothers and Doc, but they were all acquitted. Doc was a nomadic creature, moving from one town to the next, staying only long enough to win some money at the table and put someone in their place. Dodging any serious jail time, Doc continued his wild rampage engaging in infamous showdowns and run-ins with the law, only to be eventually taken down not by a gun, but by his tuberculosis. When his health began to rapidly deteriorate in 1887, he headed to Glenwood Springs, Colo., in hopes that the natural hot springs there would improve his condition. Unfortunately, he did not recover, and a few months later, died at the age of 36. As the story goes, Doc always figured he would be killed with his boots on, so when he found himself barefoot on his deathbed, he asked for a glass of whiskey and drank it down. Then, looking at his feet, said, “This is funny,” and died. CM Fleeing Dallas, Doc moved to Jacksboro, Texas, where he found a job dealing Faro, a notoriously crooked French card game. He had become an expert shot, and quickly got caught up in some more wild shenanigans. Even though he left one man dead in the dust in a series of gunfights, no legal action was taken against him. However, his luck turned in the summer of 1876, when Doc killed a soldier, bringing the U.S. government into the matter. A reward went out for his capture, and the Army, Texas Rangers, U.S. Marshalls, local lawmen and ordinary residents all pursued him. To escape his inevitable demise if captured, Doc fled to the Kansas Territory (present-day Colorado), making stops along the way, where he left three more dead bodies in his wake. From there, Doc engaged in numerous shoot-outs and brawls, making friends and enemies along the way. Most notably, he gained the friendship of Wyatt Earp and his brothers, who were by his side fighting in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Ariz. On Oct. 26, 1881, outlaw cowboys Billy Clanton, Tom McLaury and his brother Frank McLaury battled it out against the Earp brothers (Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan) and Doc Holliday. Cowboys Ike Clanton and Billy Clairborne ran from the fight, but Billy Clanton and both McLaurys were killed. Doc and Morgan and Virgil Earp were wounded. 66 www.chairsidemagazine.com
Congratulations, Chairside ® PHOT A Hunt Winners! This must have been the most challenging Chairside Photo Hunt yet because not one set of your trained eyes found all 27 differences. Based on your submissions, the toughest to find were the three differences circled in green. I guess we outdid ourselves this time! To reward your efforts, we decided to grade this contest on a curve and award the usual first-, second- and thirdplace prizes to those of you with the strongest results. • First-place winners: 21 dentists will receive $500 in lab credit each. • Second-place winners: 39 dentists will receive $100 in lab credit each. B • Third-place winners: 53 dentists will receive $100 in lab credit each. If you need a suggestion for using your lab credit, you might consider prescribing BruxZir ® Solid Zirconia for your next crown or bridge case. As durable as ever, this monolithic zirconia restoration is now more esthetic for use in the anterior. What’s more, we consistently hear from dentists that the margins on their BruxZir crowns & bridges feel better to their explorer than those on the PFMs they used to prescribe. Chairside Photo Hunt Contest entries were individually scored after being sent to the lab via e-mail and standard mail. Prizewinners were notified by standard mail and/or phone.
