Dentist is aggrieved at outcome

EDITOR,--I was the dentist involved in the case discussed byJohn Mitchell and others.¹ I wish to point out that I was foundguilty of assault on two patients--the woman mentioned and ayoung boy. The anaesthesist, however, was found guilty of assaulton only the woman. Having played no part in the decision toadminister the diclofenac suppository or in its administrationand, as Mitchell wrote, having not even touched the suppository,I feel very aggrieved by the outcome.
