Let me preface this by saying that I hate lawsuits and lawyers. There are a gazillion friviliuos (sp) lawsuits out there and it makes me kind of sick. I wanted to get the opinion of anandtechers on this pls.
I went to a perstigious dental school for a check up and cleaning b/c its cheap. Like half price and I am broke. A cleaning is $50 and so are cavities filled. I have pretty good teeth and wanna keep them. So they found 2 cavities and I waited 2 weeks for an appt for either a cleaning or to have the cavities filled. They don;t do it all in one day and stretch things out there. Anyway make a long story short, I wanted the cavity fixed first b/c it was giving me discomfort. This cavity was under a filling so they had to grind out the old filling before they could grind out the decay. SO they did all that last Friday. When I got home on Fri I got a fever and was sick all weekend and yesterday. The tooth aches worse than before so I went back today. The ham-handed kid tapped the tooth w/the mirror thing and I saw stars. I nearly jumped outta the seat. They told me that now the tooth needs a root canal, but they wanted to reverse what they did last Friday and see how close to the nerve the decay went. I was upset and not ready for anymore grinding, so I left. I said that maybe I will come back tomorrow or something. I get outside and call my Dad. He says that I should either get a second opinion or go back inside and have them do it. After I hung up w/Dad, I was feeling lightheaded and passed out on the sidewalk. I knew it was gonna happen and grabbed a passer-by for help. He was a help and got an ambulance. They took me to the ER and I just got back. All the blood tests looked normal and the Doc said that I passed out b/c of the stress and pain of that knucklehead tapping my tooth. Now was I wronged by that school? All the work the seniors do is double checked by a verteran dentist. I sure want my money back at the very least. It was $90 for the Xrays and $55 for the bungled cavity job. I don;'t think its a good idea going back for the root canal there, but should I sue? thanks
