Dirty dentist

I'm not a huge fan of going to the dentist, but I'm really glad I've never been to this dentist:
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.
Well, I should hope so. I want to know how this slob was able to get away with this kind of nastiness for so long. If he was doing this kind of thing for nearly thirty years, he probably infected a bunch of people with who knows what. And the weird thing is, it sounds like he was doing all of this on purpose, the sick bastard.
