Dentist, Painful and Health: Hold still!

Hold still!

Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. There was a cyst behind one of them, and the dentist decided to extract it - except the Novocaine didn't reach that far back. I raised my hand like they said to do, and the dentist looked at me writing in pain and said, "No, you're fine." FML

Today, my dentist asked me about my fillings, so I told him that when I was younger, I had 2 cavities. He replied, "No you didn't. I just looked at your x-rays." Turns out my old dentist ripped me off. I never needed fillings. FML

Today, I was clipping my abnormally thick toenails. I had to apply so much pressure on the clippers that a nail flew off, hit me in the eyeball and scratched my cornea. The doctor nearly fell off his chair laughing during my eye exam after I told him what happened. FML

Today, I was teaching a woodshop class. We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood. While helping a kid to hold a piece to practice drilling, he went too far forward with the drill. It went through my hand. FML

Today, I underwent surgery and feeling rather groggy upon being awoken, I very loudly declared, "I've always had a thing for doctors. Kiss me?" then promptly giggled, tried to launch myself in a random doctor's arms and fell flat on my face. FML

Today, I had to wait in a hospital room because I cut myself with a knife while trying to open a box of soda. After three stitches, I went home only to notice the box has an easy-open tab. FML

Today, while I was eating spicy wings, I suddenly sneezed. I was sitting in front of a fan and effectively maced myself when my spicy sneeze blew back into my face and eyes. FML

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt deep breathing on my neck. I screamed, fell off the bed and busted my nose. It was just my cat. FML

Today, I accidentally ran my thumb down the cheese grater while preparing lunch beside my wife. I instantly jerked my hand away from the grater just in time run my forearm across the knife she was using. I now have 20 stitches and 5 staples in my arm, no lunch, and a puking wife. FML

Today, I woke up from the most satisfying dream I've ever experienced. Sex related? Nah. I just needed two hands to pull a massive booger from my left nostril. FML

You survived to write about it, you're fine. But seriously, you should have socked him in the face.

Report them to the dental board, and understand that it's like anything else, you're paying them. You can tell them to stop, demand that they get you help, etc. NEVER put up with a bad doctor, or bad dentist because it isn't just pain you're risking, it's your life.

When I got my wisdom teeth pulled they knocked me out. I woke up and they were gone and I was doped up on meds. Guess I had it easy.

I had to go to an oral surgeon to get mine removed. Hurt like fckin' hell within ten minutes of leaving the place. It's hard to get sht taken out of your face that's, you know, generally rooted in cuz it thinks it's going to stay there. I had all four at once. The pain is bad, but percocet is pretty good for painkiller or Vicadin. The sist, however, wasn't what you went in for. You definitely have lawsuit material there. That is malpractice to keep operating where it's not numb. That's like going in to get your appendix removed and they just cut you open to yank the little bastard out.

I despise going to the dentist. And you should have socked him afterward, because if you knocked him out during, it would have been even more painful with no one there to tend to you. Sue the ******' guy.

damn. You should have continued waving your hand and making noise until he stopped because that's just not right. What a stupid bastard. I agree that you should sue for malpractice. It's not his job to tell you what you do or don't feel.

English class usually leaves me writing in pain too... oh wait. You were at the dentist's? And you were writing? That dentist is very weird, indeed! I kid, I kid. But seriously, sue. That is ridiculous of him. I agree that you should have punched him or grabbed his nose or poked his eye or something, lol.
