I smell a malpractice suit.

this happened to me once. the doc said the same thing until i punched him in the NUTS with my class ring. i almost punched the nurse in the pussy too. but i dont believe in nurse abuse.

Reminds me of the movie "Awake". Guy was in surgery...but he could feel everything.

fiicere is 100% correct. not malpractice, just misfortune. and pulling teeth hurts worse than breaking your leg in football- I broke my tibia (snapped it in half actuay) and as much as that hurt, teeth pain is so much worse.

oooh... :( i almost began crying when I read that :S my teeth hurt now!! POOOOOR YOU!!

At least you got to sleep a little bit. I know exactly how you felt, except mine was a bit more violent than yours. I didn't get put to sleep first of all because I wasn't in a hospital, yet everyone else I talked to got put right to sleep in the dentist office. Second, I had to get all 4 teeth pulled out within the time of the surgery. They gave me 5 needles, which didn't work. I felt everything you could absolutely imagine. Since my teeth were still under the gum, they had to cut the gum and then scrap little bits off and then pull the tooth out and I felt EVERYTHING. It wasn't just a little wiggle and a tug, it was a full on yanking. I was screaming at this point. You think they would stop, right, even after me asking them so I can take a breather? Nope. I'm crying uncontrollably and all they can say is, "Can you keep it down please, there are other patients in here as well." Worst day of my life and I'm scarred from it. I'm scared just to step foot into a dentist office. Yeah, I know they're not all like that, but how would you feel? Really. But, that is my story. FYL OP. I hope that you feel better though =(

Enjoy the law suit money :)

Tht's what happened to me too!! Damn... I feel your pain... Literally... Uuuuugh... It hurt like a ************.... FYL!! Hopefully you won't have the same post-surgery complications I have =[ Best of luck...!

The doctor didn't put me under because he didn't like me though. Then they held me down as I cried and yelled and tried to get them to stop. I'm scarred now for life, with damage to my jaw. And my orthodontist recommended this guy because he "loves working with kids. He likes to show them how a dentist isn't all that scary and bad." Yea right, ******! I'm 16, I was scared to get it done in the first place BECAUSE OF THIS! And so because I wasn't all happy and cheery about it he didn't like me and made me suffer. They numbed my lip, though. Thanks for that. All four teeth too x.x

lol at ppl making their dentists sound like butchers
