American Medical System and Toothaches? Why won’t the ER pull a tooth

The upper and lower wisdom teeth are very close to the brain. My tooth is in severe pain I tried to schedule to have the tooth pulled in July, I’m paying for full medical coverage, but they wanted 500$ + out of pocket. They said it wasn’t a medical...

How do you cope with bad toothache pain when all the dentists are closed?

There are dentists open, but they are all private... I can't afford private 😔 And the public, bulk billing dentists don't open til Monday morning (Australia time)

Ugh…getting my first pair of bifocals a month after my 50th birthday is just a little on the nose 😅😣

Dentist appointment

I had a dental appointment this morning. I was supposed to get a crown which would have been expensive and not any fun. When the dentist took a look at it in person instead of just pictures and X-rays, she determined that a filling was all that was...

Can someone kill me please? There’s 19 hours and 9 minutes until my dentist appointment, and I don’t think I’ll last that long 😰

I'm scared to have my stomach surgery

Do you notice that handsome doctors act too professional?

To the point that they kinda appear robotic & aloof? Of course as health care providers they’re excused but you don’t feel that basic human empathy or anything. Maybe they get tired of women flirting with them. But, c’mon doc, I’m not gonna hit...

Wow, this is terrible :c

I think the dentist is in my near future 😢🦷 I hate the dentist, I’m a big baby😂

I'm in a little bit of pain...

In my teeth but no dentist is taking on new patients. What do I do?

Ummmm.....just realized that the dentist i'm going to is way out of budget.

😞 why are good healthcare services only for the rich?

Outpatient Surgery

I am having outpatient surgery tomorrow. I am going to a world renowned institute and I know I am in good hands. No one else would tackle my problem. The funny thing is my doctor's name is Dr. Blessing. I told him that the prior doctor could not...
