Dentist is aggrieved at outcome

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