QUIRKY WORLD ... A bridge too far for dental work in McDonald’s

ENGLAND: The High Court has upheld a decision to strike off “for public protection” a dentist who tried to carry out work on a woman’s teeth in a McDonald’s.

Anca Claudia Macavei tried to fit a bridge in the Cannon St, London, branch of the fast-food restaurant in 2012.

Macavei argued that a General Dental Council professional conduct committee decision in July 2014 to strike her off the register of dentists for that incident and other misconduct was a “disproportionate sanction”.
