Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California
dental disaster
.
i kept having this pain and they gave me an open med on my left side to further take care of the pain.
but i felt some discomfort in my upper right and they said it was filling i needed but hadn't got authorization yet.
i came back and they refused that and gave me more pain meds.
when i came back again another dentist gave me more xrays
i told him they already did this and he told me by the look of the xray that tooth was alreay pulled. i told him no they kept sending me back home .....and he found that they pulled the wrong tooth and mixed up my records....asked me to come back the next day so that he could start over pull the problem tooth and throw the old records away... when i cme back i asked him for copies of the old records and he grew fustrated and told me that i causing him problem and refused to pull my tooth. he tried t make several excuses and i spoke an complained to the manager and she told me he just don't want to pull my tooth. sent me to an oral sergeon and i had to suffer even longer because they had no space....i have copies of my records and xrays....but they won't deal with me at all....and treated me badly.

Re: dental disaster
When did the dentist pull the wrong tooth? You need to file a lawsuit within 1 year, or you might waive valuble rights.
