Thanks to wikipedia for that answer, hehe. I too am glad it is gone :)<br /><br /> Betty, thankyou. The suffering was during the four days between the tooth being half extricated and half left in there. I am sore, but I know there are people out there worse off than me right now, so I am trying not to whinge too much :)<br /><br /> Karisma, thanks for the huggs and smoochies. Yeah, the other half of the tooth was yanked for an hour, and then this half took about 40mins because she had to cut the bone inside the gum to get some leveridge .. sniff sniff.<br /> I have been meditating to soothe the pain somewhat.<br /><br /> Andrew, yes, you are correct there. When I receive someone that has a seemingly small problem in comparison to others in my cubicles, I treat them the same as I would anyone else. I know that a seemingly small problem to me, may be a huge thing to that patient. The only thing is, that when we are on b ypass and it is during day time hours, it would be much easier for the person to go to their GP. If they then see fit for the person to come to us then that sure is valid. <br /> It is funny, some people come in, they have had angina and we treat them apprpriately so, according to angina care pathway, and then they sometimes say to me "Oh, I feel so silly taking up the hospital's time and a bed". I have to say to them that they are here for a very valid reason and you know, I reassure them that I hear what they are saying but that this admission sure is valid.<br /><br /> Jayne, ohh, thanks hon. It is taking the edge off of the pain. The swelling does not help I do not think. I am taking analgesia TDS now, I am trying not to take too much paracetamol. Well, codeine too.<br /> Yes, those super clinics will be great. We have a Primary Health Care Centre near us. It is where I went when I had to seek second opinion on this tooth matter on Tuesday. The Dentist was there, there was also the Xray, a Physio and of course a Treatment room and Doctors Clinic. They were very helpful. I will be visiting them with a nice card this week of thanks.Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25336737.post-57673640032503440562010-01-16T08:59:09.404+11:002010-01-16T08:59:09.404+11:00Hope the analgesia is working for you!
