Well, life continues to go downhill for me. In 2009 a dentist under medicated me and gave me endocarditis, which is an infection in your heart. That infection ruined a replacement heart valve I had installed in 2005. So that was replaced again in 2011. Ever since then I have struggled to get a dentist to treat me. Some requiring crazy things like IV antibiotics, others simply saying they wouldn't treat me at all. The other issue was no matter what dentist I found, the cardiologist I had (gone through 3 now) was never on the same page as they were with treatment. That lead to a constant pissing match between me, the dentist, and the cardiologist. In the end, I was the one who lost. As a result, my dental health isn't what it should be and now I am suffering with a sore tooth. I cannot get anyone to treat me, and I don't know what to do. I called an urgent care facility and they said that they as well as a hospital ER don't have dentists on staff, so the best they could do would be pain meds and antibiotics until a dentist could see me. WTF, I need help, I need help now and I can't get it. I get that people are afraid of screwing up and getting sued (I have never sued anyone BTW) but a persons health and well being is on the line here! I NEED HELP!!
Sorry, just venting. I am very upset, scared, and frustrated. I also have eye surgery scheduled for Monday, which I am sure will be cancelled because of this. I don't know what to do.....
