Dentist Pulls Out Elderly Woman's Teeth Without Anesthetic To "Teach Her A Lesson"

Dentist Pulled Out Teeth 'As A Lesson'

UK - A dentist who pulled out an elderly woman's teeth without anesthetic "to teach her a lesson" has been thrown out of the profession.

David Quelch left the 87-year-old with blood pouring from her mouth after she made a complaint about previous treatment at his hands, a discipline hearing was told yesterday.

He was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Dental Council yesterday and the committee ordered his name be removed from the register.

His patient, a retired nurse from Bexhill, East Sussex, had told the central London hearing: "Mr Quelch told me to sit in the chair and raised my feet above my head.

"I told him I had pain and he told me he was going to extract my teeth. I objected, I didn't think it was necessary. He ignored my remarks and pulled out the tooth. I was bleeding profusely."

She added: "I said I didn't want my tooth removed, he pushed me back, pushing me hard across my chest and extracted the second tooth. All I wanted was a filling."

She had first attended Mr Quelch's practice at St Leonard's Road, Bexhill, for a filling in September 2001 and claimed his attitude was casual and unprofessional.

The woman told Mr Quelch on a second visit in December 2001 that she had seen a doctor and complained about the dental treatment.

It was then that he was said to have removed two of her teeth against her will and shouted: "That'll teach you not to complain to the doctor about me."

The GMC panel ruled that he carried out the excruciatingly painful procedure but found charges that he restrained her and against her will not proved.

The panel also concluded that the woman had not told him he should not extract a second tooth, although he had failed to explain the risks or alternative treatment.

Wow, so many things about this one. So many lessons:

A. She had every right to complain, but if you do, dont put yourself in a position of vulnerability in the hands of someone you have criticized. that is just stupid.

B. of COURSE he shouldnt have done it, but reference A...

C. Couldnt prove he restrained her? How the hell else could he have extracted 2 teeth without anesthesia and her being concious? especially after she protested.

Yep, looks like a lot of the english are just as stupid as we Americans.

WHAT?!?! I just reread that. She said she wanted a filling. He pulled 2 teeth out.

Was the first oone a bad thing because she protested, but since she said nothing about the second, that was okay? HSE COULDNT PROTEST, SHE HAD JUST HAD A TOOTH EXTRACTED WITHOUT ANY PAINKILLERS! SHE COULDNT FUCKING TALK!
