I think it’s time for another dentist.
I do not know how easy that is for you in your country?
Otherwise tell your dentist how you think about his comments, it’s not helping you at all.
Your dentist is an asshole. Is there any way you could get a new one?
Your dentist’s comments are unprofessional, uncalled for, hurtful, rude, nasty and not nice. If you are able to I would get another dentist. I hope that you can.
Thank you a lot! Have a good day, too!
@SoberWalker @Amy30 @Alisa about changing dentist - sadly Czech republic isn’t best in it, so it can be difficult to find dentist (similar situation goes to doctors, psychiatrists and therapists). But I’m trying to find new one. I know my mother’s friend is a dentist and if I wouldn’t find some, I can go to her.
Anyways thank you a lot for your replies. I really appreciate it.
Oh yes I agree. I had many encounters with unprofessional health specialist many times. Well many times it can be understandable as they do have a lot of job or this or that and I don’t like to judge people. Always try to think outside my perception, but there was times when I got really upset.
I remember now one time when I was having terribly bad blood pressure as it is now clear was because of post-traumatic events.
The specialist was rude, he was doing echoscopy of my neck and literally he was angry on me. I was really worried about my health and I think I was having little panic atrack right on his table while he was doing the procedure. He said something like well you have high blood pressure and will need to drink blood pressure pills.
But I said - those are for a lifetime! And he was again so rude and was like - yeah so? I asked maybe it is something else? And he gived me this how dare you insult my opinion attitude. This is terrible blood pressure and there are pills for that! Looking to me like I am so kind of idiot.
He almost put me on pills for a lifetime, when in deed that was just post- traumatic panick attacks!!!
I did not believed him and was looking for the answers, going to other specialists. Now I don’t have those problems anymore.
I forgive to that doctor
Who knows, maybe he really had a bad day.
Hey / After all / In his mind / From his perspective - he surely wanted to help.
Never judge. Forgive.
All that negativity only do harm.
There even are times, and I even experienced it here on TS when someone tries to give advice / Help / from His Heart / but / indeed - being rejected and left feeling insulted…
Happens.
We all are humans and We all do mistakes.
The best we can do is Forgive
So sorry for your experiences. But thank you a lot for sharing them. <3
Also yes, best to do is to forgive. Who knows, maybe they have bad day or have their own issues…
Hey all, checking in on day 1,096. I hope everybody has a good one!
Big hugs, i am so sorry that dentist is a jerk!
Hope youre ok here to chat if you need
Day 32.8 ish doing good, woke up meh but then get better as the day progresses! First proper therapy session today this afternoon so on the right path have a good day everybody! And if you feel low or need support hugs and check in here
Please, please find a new dentist. This is beyond unprofessional. It’s hurtful.
Brag away!
Unprofessional and not deserving your patronage. Get a new one if you possibly can. And leave some shitty google reviews.
Oh and I don’t even want to remember the one about my hand. I actually forgived that one too, but at one point was really on the line to start a court since that made me handicapped for the rest of my life I guess.
It just hard to understand how a doctor said that everything is fine you will be able to go to work after a month, when indeed my main nerve was 100% split cut or the surgery was made badly and then it split.
After about months plus I went for a check up to other doctor. He actually was more interested about two female students in his cabinet and did not paid much attention to my hand. I said something aint right I cant feel half of my hand.
And he was like “Don’t worry you will be fine till marriage it will heal up”
Lol…
Anyway when after about 3 months I noticed that I did not get better, but worse I got diagnosed with a total cut of the main nerve - medianus. Surgery was planned two days after diagnosis and then it was postponed for total of 11 months because all the Corona quarantine thing just started back then.
Well… again… Nothing I can change now. Even the court or money would not be able to help me after all that Covid quarantine delay.
On the end perhaps that was my fault too. I was very drunk when injured. Because of alcohol they had to do the surgery on emergency, without putting me on sleep. There was a lot of blood and the surgeon was from the emergency sector with small amount of experience.
Fingers dropping some error on movement. Also having small inflammation symptoms time to time. Blood circulatory problems in that hand. Some small muscle atrophy. Pain and so on. But overall I think there are slight improvements.
I remember when I was small kid, after watching Terminator I tought that I am indeed a robot and not a human. Lol now I know
I say it was my fate. I can go on and again talk about how it was related to an attempt for a suicide and why… but I feel like I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I feal like this page is a past now. I feel healed. Talking here helped a lot too. Sometimes you have that itch to scratch, especially with all the post-traumatic events. I think it is better to talk about it here than in a BAR while drunk.
I really don’t feel anymore sorrow in this and it gives me 0% negative emotions now. I guess I just can thank to all of You for listening
All good now.I feel better. I forgive. And let’s forget it once and for all.
What does X days AF mean?
Always Fresh? I guess no I think it means… well… I don’t want to get banned anymore…
So ppl are just saying X days as fuck?
Update on a dentist.
So, when I was going there, I felt a lot anxious. I thought I will again go away from there with tears in my eyes, but when I met my dentist and he checked my teeth, they said: “Mhm, looks fine I guess. Come back next month, I will take off braces.” (I’m wearing braces) and my dad asked them if I can leave them. They agreed with annoying face, but I don’t care - I feel so happy now! I’m happy that I will be without braces AND also that I finally leave this dentist! I need to say thanks to my dad that he helped me with it, he’s really good communicator, heh!
Anyways thank you for all of your replies. It means to me a lot!
