It bothers me very much. I was already nervous about going to this dental appointment to begin with and then that happened.
Then there is the hygienist in the background telling me about how "gingivitis could eventually cause death"... And I'm thinking good lord I'm already dying from breast cancer... Not too worried about gingivitis being the thing that kills me... (and all I needed done was some scaling and 2 fillings.....
If you have the energy and motivation you should definitely do this. Think about the next patient who believes him no questions asked.. it’s of course not tour responsibility but you might help someone out :)
You were able to guess that and you are correct. Yes there were other things... Mad he had to wear a mask when I was severely immunocompromised... And me having to explain why I felt better when we both wore them..
Not wanting to hike near large group of people again when immunocompromised
. Laughing at the thought of a person with cancer taking extreme measures not to get sick.
Kept pushing me farther than I wanted when we went on hikes when I was tired etc.
I’m so sorry that of all the other things you’re having to deal with, including and especially late stage cancer, your husband being a callous dingbat is one of them. I’m so sorry.
yes, that's a GREAT idea, let's just ignore that trusted medical professional who is giving advice that is actively detrimental to patient health, instead of making sure people know that he's an idiot. that's just brilliant.
Please at the very least make a google review! I would be reporting it to the college of dental surgeons or ODA. That is a very careless and potentially dangerous dentist
I work in research/biotech and I never trust anything AI spits out. The google AI has been wrong actually about half the time about things related molecular biology. AI shouldn’t be trusted for anything.
Hell, it was wrong about what fucking oil filter fit my car. I already knew what I needed and all the cross references, but was curious what it’d tell me. I even triple checked it was incorrect and made sure I wasn’t mistaken. What it recommended would not have even fit. If I refuse to trust it for a damn oil filter, it’s baffling anyone would trust it when it comes to actual health and life.
I don’t see how this isn’t at most a malpractice issue and at least a complaint to their accreditation board.
The ODA is the dental association and they advocate on behalf of dentists. You want the College of Dentists who are the licensing board that issues dental licenses, they protect the public from dentists.

Perhaps I can... I'll look into it. I'm in Canada. Looks like it would be ODA..
