Abscessed tooth--got an emergency visit with only minimal grief---lots of pain--Doc asked--" Any pain ?"---I answered,...
"yes...quite a bit."----He did exam---wrote Rx for antibiotic Tx,...
made appt. for re-visit in 3 days for extraction...and...??? Had to ask,..."Rx for pain med ?"---He says,...(curtly)...You said you didn't have any pain!!!---HUH???? Who else was in the room and answered that ??? I replied---"No, I actually said that there was a lot of pain..." Exasperated look---then, writes Rx for 12 tabs of Tylenol #3---,throws it on the counter and leaves to go to another room.I think,..."Bad vibes??"--But, after 3 days, I return---He shoots novacaine into my soft, sore, painful gum---3 times!!!! Never thought to numb the gum first with that pink bubble-gum salve, like NORMAL, THINKING, HUMANE , Dentists ALWAYS do!!,...That area is very tender without the inflammation of infection !!! After the first shot, he asked " It's numb,...right?"---"Nope,..I reply---not yet!"...He's annoyed---gives another shot---5 minutes---"Ready??"---NOPE,...still not numb!!! Now he's really pissed!!! Must have a hot date!! Another
shot--doesn't do much--he pulls the tooth anyway---very painful!!But,..I'm done--leave, and NEVER go back!!!!!
