Dentist In Trouble For Cleaning Ears And Fingernails

Is it dentist Alan Hutchinson’s fault that dental instruments make great tools for digging wax out of his ears and for scraping dirt from under his fingernails? No, of course not. This should be considered one of the perks of the profession. However, the Dental Council probably has a point in insisting that Alan should have cleaned his tools of ablution before shoving them in patients’ mouths.

Occasionally washing his hands wouldn’t have gone astray either.
