UK dentist, David Quelch, who pulled out an elderly woman's teeth without anaesthetic "to teach her a lesson" has been thrown out of the profession.

Dentist pulled out teeth 'as a lesson' (UK)

Extract:

"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."


I believe that in cases like this - professional malpractice and deliberate cruelty in order to punish and victimise a complainant - the police should be involved and there should be criminal procedures. I also think that this fellow should pay substantial monetary recompense to his victim without her having to pay a solicitor to take the matter to the civil courts, if she should so choose. - In my opinion, the General Dental Council and the General Medical Council are of little use to anyone other than the many negligent members of their respective professions, but at least they have, in this instance, 'struck him off', though incredibly they "found charges that he restrained her and against her will not proved."!!! - It would have been heart-warming if the GDC had had the power to order him to pay money to his victim, and had exercised that power.
