You know what's better
than oral surgery?
EMERGENCY oral surgery.
If I was using his "guy" he'd have called and bullied me onto the schedule. As it is I have to be as pushy as possible, to have this done, like, NOW.
Worst - he did NOTHING for my tooth and charged me for the privilege. He complained about "bone loss" but you know I've been thinking if SOMEONE had yanked the tooth AS I'D ASKED instead of doing a PARTIAL ROOT CANAL I might not be in this mess as I am? I mean YES it's my fault I waited, but I'm thinking the seriousness of the situation is on HIS head (or ass, as it were.)
Another 10 days of horse pills, wiping out almost all of my new credit, and the fact that I must now WILLINGLY pester a nice lady to pry my mouth open while I'm knocked out and remove 4 teeth. Because HE thinks it's a "good idea" for all four to come out at once.
Feh.
I'm currently eating junk and drinking soda. It can't get much worse. Once I start taking the horse pills I should have some lessening of discomfort. CVS is working on them now. Clindamycin. Expensive as fuck.
Fucking fuck man. Fucking Fuck.

I'm not old or crazy (which are the only two ways I've seen anyone get medicaid benefits)
And I'm obviously NOT paying for it out of pocket - since it's not done yet *grins* Seriously, it's been both the attitude of the offices and my bad attitude.
"We have a credit line you apply for and pay like a credit card"
"Ok, but I'm not going to get that I've had credit problems, what other options do you have?"
"*SPLUTTER* WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T GET IT??????"
*Pause*
"uh, I mean I won't get it, and i need this surgery."
"*huff* Well you CAN give us a post dated check for a week later for half. The rest is upfront."
"Um, yeah, Ok let me call you once hell freezes over, ok?"
I'm either calling my mother's surgeon, or looking into the dental schools. We have Tufts and BU both close enough to go to. *shrugs* the thing is I've had several "real" jobs and never had dental insurance so this doesn't surprise me.
MAybe I should look into this medicaid thing....
