The appellant appealed the dismissal of his dental malpractice claim.
During a tooth extraction, the appellant exhibited signs of distress, prompting the respondent dentist to administer nitroglycerin under the belief the appellant was having a heart attack.
The appellant later suffered a bradycardic event at the hospital and claimed psychological injuries.
The Divisional Court upheld the trial judge's findings that the respondent met the standard of care in an emergency situation and that there was no factual causation between the administration of nitroglycerin and the subsequent hospital event.
The appeal was dismissed.
