Urinating dentist struck off list


A dentist has been struck off the register for urinating in his surgery sink and using medical tools to clean his ears and nails. The General Dental Council found Alan Hutchinson, 51, guilty of unhygienic practices at the Branch Road Dental Practice in Batley, West Yorkshire. Mr Hutchinson had admitted not routinely wearing gloves, but denied all the other charges. He said he did not always wear gloves due to a latex allergy.
