Using laughing gas at double the recommended dosage and without the parent's permission.
Threatening to harm a child patient with sharp tools if they didn't calm down.
Sexually harassing a mother of a child.
Taking more than the required x-rays that would be the maximum amount that the insurance would pay for the visit.
