     an eye for an eye , a tooth for a tooth.

    I am also reminded of what Mahatma Gandhi said : an eye for a eye makes the whole world blind.

    So extrapolating it here a tooth for a tooth makes the whole world edentulous

    Maimuna , a native of Malappuram who suffered from a toothache had a worst day in her life at the Government Dental College Hospital on Saturday. The doctor at the Government Dental College extracted the wrong tooth. Instead of extracting the molar tooth, the dentists extracted the three teeth in the front row.

    According to Maimuna, she went to the Government Dental College last month and after preliminary check-up the doctor had asked her to come to the hospital on Saturday to extract the tooth. Maimuna said that she had informed the doctor to extract the molar tooth prior to the administration of anaesthesia but the doctor extracted the wrong teeth telling that they are conducting the procedure on the basis of prescription in her hand. Maimuna came to know about the removal of teeth only after the completion of extraction. Maimuna has been admitted to the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital.
