General Dental Council Part 7-the PCC and the Legal Adviser

Among other gems, the Committee Chairwoman Valerie Paterson contrived to attend work in a blouse which was unironed and, while questioning an expert witness, to get his name wrong four times in an hour while reading it from a piece of paper in front of her. Only one member of the Committee ever showed the vaguest signs of engaging with the process in front of him.

In his advice, the 'independent' Legal Adviser Jeffrey Widdup made no mention of the fact that a small but important part of the evidence against me (the complaints log) had like a child's jotter been scrawled through with alterations after the fact. He stated that the uncorroborated complaints should be treated with less gravity than the complaints supported by witnesses. It looked to me that this concession was as easy for him as passing a kidney stone. These complaints included such deviancies as asking patients to pay their debts and 'being about to' commence procedures without checking medical histories (or, sitting in a chair in a dental surgery). The numerous and self-diagnosing suspicious features of this evidence, the cuntish nature of which I and the PCT understood comprehensively within three minutes, apparently eluded him. So we have gone from complaints which would not normally be admitted and which have been denounced as malicious and vexatious by experts to thirty or forty reasonable people who were entirely justified in their negative opinions of me. What a load of balls, and what a useless crock of shit my lawyers were for letting this happen.
