Dentist guilty of urinating in surgery sink

LONDON (Reuters) - A British dentist was found guilty Thursday of urinating in his surgery sink and using dental tools meant for patients to clean his fingernails and ears.

A medical tribunal said it was satisfied the evidence showed 51-year-old Alan Hutchinson, who routinely did not wear gloves or wash his hands, had risked the health of "himself, staff and patients" for more than 28 years.

A dental nurse who worked for Hutchinson for 16 years said she had caught him urinating in the sink more than once.

"He was tucking something into his trousers before zipping them up hastily. I walked over and I was behind him. He moved to the left and I could smell urine," the nurse told the tribunal.

The tribunal determined that the dentist's poor hygiene habits made him unfit to practice and struck him off the dental register, banning him from work.

"You urinated into a sink in your surgery following which you did not wash your hands and then proceeded to treat a patient. This behavior was clearly inappropriate and is completely unacceptable," the tribunal chairman said.

What an effing IDIOT!!!

I guess we know how Austin Powers got his smile now.
:P

maybe he really had to go.

Gross, I hope none of it went into that little cup you have to rinse your mouth out with afterwords!

Well, there is ammonia in urine. Maybe he was using it as a natural teeth whitener??lol

why do the have to make sinks just the right hight? :)

Anyone who says they haven't urinated into a sink is a liar.

Well.. if you have your own room at college and a sink in the room and the bathroom is down the hall, you're gonna use what's immediately available aren't you? Especially if it's 3am and you're drunk..

Or is that just me?

I used to have a house with a sink in the basement. My wood working shop was there also. I used to piss in the sink instead of running upstairs, but I lived alone then and it was my sink....



Pissing in an office sink is a different story....Sounds like the guy was just plain nasty and short a few marbles in the ole skull.... ::)
