ROME, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - Police arrested a 50-year-old-man in Rome after he shot a bogus dentist who had left him in severe pain, local media said on Thursday.
Police arrived at the dental surgery to find the fake dentist with gunshot wounds to his legs. His patient, who was charged with attempted murder, told police he returned to the surgery with the gun after his pain had become unbearable.
The imposter later admitted causing severe pain to his patient and damaging his teeth during the treatment.
He also admitted that he had no qualifications and was merely a technician who had decided to start his own practice.
The fake dentist, who later underwent surgery at a hospital in Rome, will stand trial accused of malpractice. Police also charged the impostor's ex-wife, nephew and brother with assisting him in setting up his dental practice.
