wow, it's finally over. I'm really never going back this time. It
makes me shake a little just to think about it all. The moron oral
surgeon was really insensitive though. People like that should not be
allowed to practice. The trip to the regular dentist that Mathew took
me to for just the x rays wasn't so bad in comparison. They actually
asked me about my previous expericences at the dentists and what
bothered me. No one should be allowed to work in any healthcare job
unless they actually are willing to spend the time to treat the
patient as they need to be treated and according to that patients
wishes. If I say Mathew doesn't leave my side you sure as hell don't
take him away from me.
it's just really so frustrating, I really don't want to be scared
anymore. As I see it being this scared of anything is like a serious
flaw. I really need to be better.
