Andy9o8 0 #1 January 17, 2006 Oh, those wacky Brits... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4620074.stm Dentist let partner drill teeth The couple are thought to have charged the NHS £120,000 A dentist from south-east London who let her unqualified boyfriend treat patients has been struck off. Mogjan Azari allowed her lover Omid Amidi-Mazaheri to work on more than 600 patients, leaving many in agony. He drilled out cavities without local anaesthetic and installed expensive fillings that crumbled within days. The pair charged the NHS for the bungled work and other non-existent procedures and are believed to have made £120,000 from the scam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #2 January 17, 2006 QuoteA dentist from south-east London who let her unqualified boyfriend treat patients has been struck off. What does "struck off" mean? That must be a British term that isn't in common usage in America. I hope that it means; "tortured in the same manner that he did to others, but twice as long."

juanesky 0 #8 January 18, 2006 Gee Mary. At least this particular incident occurred in an office far away. Edited to add: Nice job, and hope you feel better."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
