It's been 2 yrs & I've gone thru successfull reconstructive surgery to replace my internal organs inside my body. But I still suffered ongoing fevers.
In 2009 a front bridge broke off at the gum. Dentists refused to treat me unless I agreed to another reconstruction.
What's up with that?
My weight was dropping rapidly.
Knowing I had no medical insurance an oral surgeon wrote RX's for 2 MRI's & a MRSA test. He stated he could'nt give a consultation because he never received a treatment plan from my prosthodontist. Yet he charged me twice the consult fee.
He states he's going to sue me because I only paid the stated fee.
Finally thru a mispelling of my name I found a great dentist. Unlike the dentists in the past...he immediately put me on antibiotics. Finally a dentist was saving my life.
My oral surgeon couldn't imagine my pain as I had 3 abscesses with one attached at the root.
Today I have a beautiful new smile. Can a patient be "blackballed?" You better believe it. My dentist left me to die & another dentist could'nt believe a dentist saved not only my life but gave me a beautiful smile.
My old dentist thought no dentist would treat me.
Times are tough, economies bad, I thank God for a dentist who "stood up" & not only saved my life but gave me a beautiful new smile. This talented dentist & his lab saved me from an intentionally grotesque reconstruction.
