I banged my mouth early this year and the swelling was terrible. I couldnt eat, move my mouth or sleep and was in constant pain. One of the doctors I saw at the hospital in torbay a&e said "oh we have been talking about you. its just swelling go home" he didnt look at my mouth or anything, just said that sentance and left. In the end it took 4 visits to hospital and 2 visits to the doctors, 6 x-rays, 2 lots of anti inflamitories, diclofenac, liquid morphine and 2 lots of antibiotics to find out i had an absess!!! By this time I had to have my gums cut open and teeth removed and was asked to stay in hospital on an IV antibiotic drip because the infection had got so bad. If the doctor at the hospital had listened to me to begin with ( i knew it wasnt "just swelling") I wouldnt have ended up on morphine and having all that dental work. Do you think I should complain as he obviously didn't care. What if someone gets really ill because he couldnt be bothered to check them out?
