Jane's tooth pulled

Since there's so much excitement on this page lately... I feel it necessary to include such items as my wife getting a tooth pulled.

She had it done this past Monday. I don't have the oral surgeon's name or name of the business, but will add it later. It was not a pleasant experience for her, and they got her prescription mixed up with someone else's!

She's had trouble with this tooth on the top right for awhile. It already had a cap on it, and she's had to go in because it was infected a couple different times. The dentist gives her antibiotics and says she needs to schedule a root canal and... once it starts feeling better... she doesn't schedule the root canal.

Well, after doing that a couple times, she finally decided to get the root canal. Of course she has to go to yet another dentist who does root canals. When she gets there they naturally have to take their own x-rays. They look at those, and then take some more, and this dentist determines that he can't do a root canal because the roots are too bad. Instead of growing up, they were growing all over the place. So he charged her $200 just to say she needs to go to an oral surgeon.

So she went Monday to get the tooth pulled. I think it was scheduled for 7:15 am. At 9 am she texts me that she just got out of there and was getting in her car and going to get her prescription. I guess it was a tricky one. She also says the oral surgeon was not overly nice. Not necessarily rude, but not nice by any means. Plus they just used novocaine because it was too expensive to do anything else.

Oh, it gets better... She contacts me later (since I'm at work and she's at home) and asks if I can take the prescription back when I get home and get the right one. Apparently when she went to take it, the directions said to take all four pills prior to the procedure. She didn't think this was right so she calls the oral surgeons office. The person on the phone tries to tell her this was correct. Jane tries to tell her it's not, because she's already had the procedure. The lady on the phone says "it's because of your heart valve." When Jane tells her she DOES NOT HAVE A HEART VALVE, the lady says, "Oh! Hold on just a minute." Yeah, they called in a different prescription after that. At least the medicine was correct, but the dosage and amount were different.

Jane said when she first got the prescription the pharmacist (whom she doesn't know) asked how she liked the oral surgeon. He said he'd not been overly impressed with him, or something like that. Kind of odd for a random pharmacist to just offer that. Oh, and there was also a mix-up with a pain killer. The oral surgeon didn't prescribe one, but the discharging nurse said she would since they used a drill. Well, there wasn't one prescribed at the pharmacy.

So... all that to say... Jane had a tooth pulled. She's doing fine. I think she's supposed to go back in three months to see how it's doing and determine what they're going to put in the space. Hopefully it will turn out better than the initial visit.
