tyresiasI went to my consult with an endodontic specialist. The take-in questionnaire asked if I had a mental disorder, a psychiatrict disorder, any medication taken etc... It asked women if they were menopausal (among other things). I asked what importance a mental disorder status. They ask if my medication was for a chemical imbalance. (way to assume) I tried reasoning but to no avail. The relationship between menopause and a tooth ache? It didn't pertain to me so I left that blank. (Can you imagine?)
The specialist gave me the impression she wanted to castrate me for the sole crime of being a guy. She took offence to my menopause question. That was between snit assumptions about someone without insurance. I asked the price difference between local and general anaesthetics, opted for the later but she wants me to try the former. I assured I'd pay the difference but apparently if you don't have insurance, don't bother offering to pay more. (Sorry brianspeak, no picking up Matt in a daze!) I will try under local on Valentine's Day and if I can't handle it will we reschedule under general.
Why will I go to her for the procedure? Because I can't afford a 3rd consult or wait more than a week to have this stupid thing taken care of. On the up shot, my efforts to not deal with this at work saw a 40% rise in productivity. Figures.
