OR, you could have, you know...been honest? Or perhaps paid attention in the first place? I mean I know mistakes happen, but you're a medical professional. You should check these things beforehand, and be willing to admit it when you mess up.

So not only are you incompetent, you're also a morally bankrupt coward who'd rather lie to his patient than own up to his mistakes. I hope the patient finds out what you did and sues your ass.

Don't lie about it! Hurts your conscience

That's pretty low dude.

How does it feel to be hated on FML? I hope they take away your license not for making a human error, but for making a human error and then lying about it. You admit to your error on FML but not to the person who trusted you with his/her teeth. YDI!!! The person should be given the opportunity to extract all your teeth one by one without any medication!

So unprofessional, hope you'll get in troubles. YDI

I hope the patient reads FML and sees this FML, so he/she can connect the two..

What a piece of shit and disgrace of a dentist.

Everybody makes mistakes - that's what you have professional indemnity insurance for. It's the lying that's shocking. By lying you have probably invalidated your insurance and I can't help feeling you deserve to be found out. FY(ourpatient's)Life

What's your practice so I can never go there? It's not that you messed up--you're human--although this is a royally stupid **** up for a medical professional of any kind--but because you didn't have the balls or decency to admit it and say you were sorry.
