Dr. Trautmann was very pleasant, communicative, very chatty, and gentle for the first visit. I am allergic to epinephren and told him and his assistant that I am always given Lidocaine. He gave me an injection of a different drug and said they use it in place of Lidocaine. However, on the second visit, no one had bothered to put my allergy into my dental records and I was injected with Novacaine. I immediately got a severe headache and my chest started hurting. I told the dental assistant that they had given me Novacaine and she rushed out of the room to talk to the Dr. Well, by the time she returned, I was having PVC's like crazy and could hardly breathe. She LIED and said that I had been given the correct shot. I DO NOT have reactions to Lidocaine. She put a blood pressure cuff on, bp was HIGH, and left it on. I was numb until 2 a.m. the next morning. They injected me with the wrong drug, then lied to try to cover it.
