Question:
A Novocain IV??? Isn't that supposed to be injected as a local anesthetic
>only?
Absobloodylutely!
I wonder if that dentist still is licensed to even practice?
There are certainly analgesics that can be adminned IV---- but novo or
lido aren't those type!! They are, as yo said, to be given as direct
local injections.
Answer:
Nothing serious except he tried to kill me...had a lot of extensive teeth
work done. He used a new type of Novocain on me...shoots it into the
bloodstream said I would not feel any pain at all...yeah right no pain...it
shot my blood pressure up to the max, everything started going black and I
passed out and almost died in the chair. I was lucky because his office was
in the bottom part of the hospital. I came around with the staff of the
emergency room standing over me.....Never went back to him...
Genetics had a lot to do with my teeth. I acquired all of my Dad's bad points
and joints......Do love that smile you have now....
Unfortunately when this happened I never thought of suing. I never let things
get me down in the mouth for very long.
He did inject it into my gum....he just happened to hit a blood vessel and it
went straight to my heart....took me a long, long time to trust again......I
don't like being hurt.......
Oh! yes already have here in Raleigh...He is a dentist that does not believe in pain
for the patient of any kind.....He actually kept asking me if I was okay...and if I
said no it hurt or anything at all....he'd stopped for a minute and let me get
composed and than start again, he's also very patient with children. He is our
family Dentist now.....took a long time to find him. I told him about the other
experience and he said that he used this stuff too, but he said not on me if I did
not want it.
