This is the best summary I could come up with:
An oral surgeon charged with assault — relating to an incident in which a prison guard extracted a tooth from an inmate from a central Newfoundland jail — has changed his plea to guilty.
Appearing by telephone, Dr. Louis Bourget entered a guilty plea in Gander Supreme Court on Monday morning, the same day he was scheduled to go to trial on the charge.
In October 2020, two prison guards from the Bishop's Falls Correctional Centre — Ron McDonald and Roy Goodyear — accompanied a inmate to Bourget's practice at the Gander Family Dental Clinic.
While sedated, Bourget allowed McDonald to extract a tooth from the patient while Goodyear recorded it on his phone.
In its decision, the Newfoundland and Labrador board stated the patient would have been unable to give informed consent to the extraction since he was sedated.
The patient, Blair Harris, has filed a lawsuit against Bourget and McDonald and others related to the incident.
