NHS INADEQUATE AGAIN

Well if I was to post about everyone I experienced pain there would be four times as many posts than there are.

But today, it target this afternoon and evening, I went through enough of it to post about it along with asking how this had come to be.

I have been waiting four many weeks now for the removal of a molar tooth. I have been through two courses of metranidozole with a long gap between them and no several days without any.

While in Enfield Town centre I had to take some pills, Gabapentin and Tramadol, so bought a can of Root Beer, pleased to see that they had it in stock, and a chocolate bar.

After finishing the chocolate bar I unlocked my bike and walked with it while I finished the last third if the root beer. I then got on my bike and cycled down Silver Street towards Baker Street before getting caught at a red traffic light. After a couple of minutes I cycled on down Baker Street to my friends Pet Store as I had some news for him I had discovered while in the town.

When I got there I dismounted my bike but then realised I was about to get some serious pain from my tooth yet again. So I searched my backpack looking for something I can place in the gap of the tooth I have had extracted previously. This allows me to apply leveraged pressure directly on the offending tooth!

Tracey, my friends wife came and asked if I wanted a bar of chocolate from the nearby newsagents and I said yes please. When she returned she found me still kneeling outside and asked what was wrong.

"My tooth is playing up" I answered.

"what again?! Have they not sorted that out yet?! This is ridiculous it had been weeks and should have been taken out immediately and I do not understand why they have not removed it. You should be careful as this affects all if you're jaw if this is left!"

Oddly enough the throbbing pain does now hurt in the hinge of my jaw right around to the middle.

I am often tempted to punch my jaw very hard our hit it with a brick....and I DO mean literally.

Now the reason I told the story as I did is too explain TWO THINGS I have tried very hard to get across to my Dentist to get across to Chase Farm Hospital...its an emergency for the following reasons.

It hurts....a great deal! But it is also impossible to control or predict. It always comes on between 5 and 10 minutes AFTER I have consumed LIQUIDS.

LIQUIDS ONLY.

More annoyingly when it started hit drinks were a big problem while cold ones not so much.

Then it swapped around so hot or lukewarm fluids were fine but the colder they were the worse three pain would be!

Then it changed again and now it does not matter what the temperature of fluids are and found that out when I drank a can of Shandy Bass coming back from Sainsburys and I was still in pain when I got in the house which is a twenty minute walk.

You might be thinking how horrible that is that I had two lots of pain like this in the space of just four hours. Only an hour after I got in from the first attack I decided to have a can of Cream of Chicken Soup at room temperate thinking that would be fine and KAPOW!

I have tried Clove Oil but it had no effect other than burning my skin and testing awful.

When I got indoors I got fed up do took 200mg of Gabapentin along with 100mg of Tramadol and I sent a very stern email to my dentist. Pointing out that I have been messed about with the promise of Orthodontic work and my time wasted for two years and then told I need to spend £200 on a dental hygienist I should not have to pay for and now left in agony for weeks on end.

Remember it was down to me requesting they now take the tooth out which is when they asked dirt what drugs I was prescribed sure to a reaction I had to the local anaesthetic for the filling I had in the offending tooth that is now painful?!

(sharp intake of breath! Lol!)

I did also point out one other thing too these medical professionals I should not have to...

...as a human being consuming water is more important than consuming food and us something I have to do...

...i also have to do this more regularly than most for two reasons and first off I take a long list of pills and now have to three times a day.

So I take a shit load of painkillers of which now cause and even greater amount off pain than that which the trip different drugs are designed to DEAL WITH!!

I really cannot think of a more fitting scenario or story that could possible shower just how bloody messed up, incompetent and badly run the medical profession and the NHS truly is.

Now quite what the FECK the organisations NICE and the GMC are fecking doing I really have no bloody idea but surely now it is only the most naive of idiots that fails to see that a great deal of organisations many of which exist to serve the public are getting large amount of money our big budgets when they are NOT doing ad they should,b looking after people and patients properly and have no compassion, intelligence or right to receive what they are and need a damn good kick up the arse and force fed a large dose of reality pie?!

When I went back to my Dentist over yen days ago where I was given ANOTHER COURSE of metranidazole I told them that this was supposed to be an emergency appointment and that I cannot believe how I have been left in three pain I have had and NOT even heard from the hospital?!

I did forget to tell them that on the online booking there WAS an opponent that was made from around 4 to 5 years ago that I never heard anything about and was from 3 GPs back?!

Oddly enough I did book this and thought how fecking funny it would be if it did indeed get booked. St the end if the day it was to do with my feet and the pains and as I have not had convulsive diagnosis from any if these so called experts I thought maybe this Doctor may know?!

I did not expect them to make the appointment.

Couple days back I received a confirmation letter that this appointment for a July date had actually been made?!

An appointment I never had a letter about from 4 or 5 years ago I am now about to have in about 4 weeks time?!

That is going to be one hell if an audio recording!

Can you imagine the reactions when I tell them that this appointment is from years ago and I have been through three GPs since then?! Hopefully I will get some choice statements from a selection of people on the day?!

Lmao!

Tried NHS Direct online and all it said was make appointment with your Dentist?! Duh! Except I need the HOSPITAL and NOT a Dentist!! As told to me twice now by my Dentist!!

Worrying is that I am now convinced that when the receptionist stated in what seemed like a response to my Dentist "you know what they are like?! They are always losing stuff and claiming they have not received it!" Whereby I smiled and said "that conversion was not about me was it?!" Then received odd looks and no response.

So the dental department of Chase Farm Hospital have now struck for a second time in a month by not contacting me at all after eating my time for TWO WHOLE YEARS previous to this in a scam to get me to pay £200 after telling he it would all be done for free?!

I am now going to rip a great deal of second arse holes for many people.

This had been excruciatingly painful and highly distracting. I have even thought that this had been done to me deliberately reason being sour grapes over this blog?!

I simply cannot believe anyone could be left in this much pain?!

If I were a dog or a horse I would have been shot or given a lethal injection and in all honesty after the last month...it would have been preferable to me!!

JOINING THE SPACE CADETS

Owww, my God my right arm is in bloody agony...or I should say it is if I try and change the angle on it at the elbow?! Hmm despite 100mg Tramadol and 1000mg Paracetemol?! Hmm or was it 150mg Tramadol....

This is also somewhat weird I feel stoned now I am indoors and sitting down! Very weird.

I HAVE had bad reactions to general anaesthetics in the past and am sure I have mentioned each one in here at least once but I have never had a reaction to a local anaesthetic before hand and I have had plenty of them over the years!

Oddly the friend I had visited yesterday....woozy there for a moment,yes this friend had described similar things to what I had experienced and I said that was odd as I had felt like that for several days and thought something was 'going round' and perhaps I had some bug or virus. The weather has been up and down like there is no tomorrow and never before have I seen so many confused weather men, and women, who seems to be at a loss to explain it and constantly apologising for something that is neither theirs to control and nigh on impossible to predict with any certainty...

...ooh yeaaaaahhhhh but Oxford Council seem to think so, I had forgotten about that?! LOL!!

Well I had thought maybe it might be a bug but other than making me feel light headed and nearly passing out there has been nothing else other than the usual fair and run of the mill, WELL run of the mill for ME, stuff.

My word that must have been the worst day ever outside the house, other than that time I got very sick in my brother's car in Hertford?!

I will NOT be going out now for several hours at least, despite the fact I bought no shopping back other than a jar of HONEY and I seem to have errr three bike lights and intended to buy ONE! I have bought a headlight I already have in a set with a rear light I do not. Hmm seem to remember thinking twin headlights in my handlebars. These are a One23 set and I have an Oxford rear light that looks like the One23 rear light and along with that I have a head torch?! Oh yeah I know why I bought the head torch, lol. Amazing what my brain can bloody still think of when I am out of it?!

A shame it does not stop to calculate the BUDGET?!?!

Ooh now due to my woozy head and numb mouth added to the fact I cannot eat for several hours, hmm now have I eaten at all?! Err I digress I am considering watching a film or two in the hope that I will be with it again by the end?! 

Hmm I just realised I think it is my bicep in my right arm that hurts like hell and I cannot think why for the life of me...ooh I was doing a post on here and was typing it out as I walked to take my mind of the journey, woozyness and pain...

..nope cannot remember what hand I was using to hold the phone or type and nor can I even think where my rucksack was on my body?! It feel like I have carried a heavy weight a long way and my muscled has seized up from it but I only had my backpack and my phone, oh well and my walking stick and nothing heavy at all!

Maybe it will come back later on or tomorrow morning?!

Eyelids are heavy, maybe I will just fall asleep here at the laptop?

OK this is turning out to be one very weird day!

Decisions, decisions!

BAD DAY OF PAIN & REACTION TO LOCAL ANAESTHETIC

I am on my way home from my Dentist and it seems like a world away right now!

Must try to cross this road and not get killed?! Not that the drivers going by give a toss about a disabled guy with a severe limp and a walking stick.

Yesterday I cycled to visit a friend I had not seen for sometime and really did not feel like going. Indeed I was meant to fu the day before and canceled.

I head been feeling quite light headed fur several days and did but know why. On the cycle over I had wondered if I was not going to pass out while actually on my bike and that had never happen before. On the way home my groin felt strained in the area if my hernia repair and I had focuses on taking it easy too.

Today I had to leave the house as I had a Dentist appointment for a molar tooth that had am exposed nerve from a cap that had crumbled a few Weeks earlier.

But while out I wanted to pouch up a tear light for my bike as I seem to have mislaid mine and cycled home the night before without a rear light?! In the dark...obviously!

Only the groin pain fit worse and I still felt light headed while trying to drink fluids fur my seconds lot of tramadol with the exposed nerve on tooth attempting to make my brain explode.

I returned to friends store with tea and coffee for them from the 99p Store and then proceeded to the Dentist.

Once there he asked if I wanted a local anaesthetic injection and I said yes as it was quite painful. He have me a couple but I said it was not numb and this had happened previously and gag to have a second injection. But he said I needed more time and to wait outside while he saw another patient. I also now recall that I did say I had taken tramadol and was that ok and he said yes.

I was called back on and the cap, or whatever it is, was placed on after some painful drilling but still the time my eyes were heavy and I had to close them. I felt like I was going to reason asleep while have my tooth drilled?!

Once finished I got out of the chair and followed the Dentist outside to reception and felt quite woozy and still do. Like I nearly did on the 99p Store o nearly went down and the Dentist suddenly looked worried and stupid and faced me and asked if I was OK. He leaned to one side quickly at I've point as if he had expected to catch me as I went down!

He agree if I was ok and I said I felt very weird, or something, and he said I had better not leave and should take a seat and wait awhile. He then said something to the receptionist about it but not sure what.

After a few minutes it became apparent this was not going to go any time soon so I for up to walk over to reception expecting to have to sign something. She said I didn't and said that I was ok to leave if I felt ok.

I said I was fine and left.

U went to tescis across the road guy done cash out the atm then grabbed a basket before walking around but knowing what the hell I was on there for.

I walked our after placing the empty basket back in the pile I retrieved it from and left.

Despite the woozyness and the patching pain in my groin and the weaving I have now manged, our almost, to get home. Typing this has taken my mind off the journey desire having to correct around ... Just tripped over a fecking wire!! Shit. Yes desire correcting wrong eighty words on this shit and useless second hand and faulty American phone very wanted to rip me off for to the tune of over £400 and tripping over a wire done thoughtless twat had thrown out of a car I an now very nearly home and thank bloody God for that?!

Ooh just do not twill the local Jehovah' Witness' that they have Bergen trying to recruit me for three years and think me a hero!

Arrg pain down my right arm now?! Jesus bloody Christ, MAN!!

Lol.
