  So, a few weeks back I had a tooth pulled. In order to put me out the gave me an IV. Now, three weeks later I still have a bruise running along my vein, a ropy feel to the vein, and pain. So I look on the web for what it could be, and it sounds like Phlebitis. I've never heard of this, but from what I've read, it's something that can happen, and evidentally happens often enough that they gave "set answers" in Nursing texts in the event you are sued for it.
Lovely. So, I'm going to urgent care tomorrow to deal with it, as it's evidentally a form of thrombosis and could kill me. It's very hard to trust anyone. Every time I go to the doctor I get some new problem. So, maybe I'm whining but jeez, all I wanted was the tooth which crumbled out of my jaw a year and a half ago to be taken care of. I spent a year with a temporary filling, because Dentists were incompetant. All I can say is I don't think I'll ever fully trust anyone, but a white coat is a good step in the wrong direction.
I've had everything from Doctors middiagnose me to Dentists lie to me to rip me off to you name it. Seriously. Take this for example: I had a kidney stone. The doctor who "treated" me kept me an invalid for a month by failing to properly attempt to get it out, and further cause a hernia by his treatment methods, and then, over-charged me, to boot. So, I limp away, and eventually get the hernias repaired. Guess what? I still have problems with pain in that area.
Because of damage done by the catheter. Nice huh? Try this one: I had an ulcer misdiagnosed as lung cancer. Not enough? How about back to the tooth: the reason why it had to be removed was because they hollowed it out too much when they were preparing for a root canal. Rather than deal with that, I had a dentist send me off for a completely unneccessary surgery on ANOTHER TOOTH. Get the idea?
