Mediocre GDC

Book excerpt: It is naivety that borders upon dishonesty to suggest that Britain’s mediocre General Dental Council (GDC) is untouched by the decline in the general educational standard. “To disagree with three-fourths of the British public on all points is one of the first elements of sanity, one of the deepest consolations in all moments of spiritual doubt.” – Oscar Wilde In November 2008, the mediocre GDC belatedly and retrospectively charged and found the first ever and only Negro dentist in Bedford guilty of using “kavoklave instead of autoclave” for two months in 1996, twelve years earlier! In 1996, the Caucasian predecessor at the dental practice had used the same autoclave for several years before the Negro took over from her. “No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimetre nearer.” – George Orwell The GDC charged that there was “The need for an autoclave for sterilisation as opposed to the kavoklave that was in sole use.” In 2007, in order to corroborate allegations by a racist and dishonest senior National Health Service (NHS) nurse, Rachael Bishop, the GDC went back to the year 1996 to find that kavoklave isn’t an autoclave! The confused council didn’t know that kavoklave is an autoclave. Dr Anand Kamath actually died in his home upon being threatened to be reported to the GDC. “Dr Prasad, the widow of Dr Anand Kamath, told an inquest he felt ‘bullied and harassed’ after being summoned for a meeting and sent a letter warning he could be reported to the General Dental Council.” – Daily Mail, Eleanor Harding, 11.08.2013
