Wrongful Tx by once associated Doctors: Thomas H. Ludlow, Andrew Theurer, and Haynie. Went to Ludlow for painful molar, rancid smell, and mucus from mouth. He thinks Sx due to sinus problems and notes “Dr review image & saw no sign of decay and root structures look sound...” However, no image was taken. I’m sick as a dog, per Ludlow’s Dx I suffer through intense Bactrim and then Azithromycin Txs but Sx increase. I see Haynie who doesn’t note anything about complained of tooth but does note, “No signs of any sinus tracts.” Still, no image. A week later at routine hygienist exam an X-ray was taken showing large black spot on root area. A week later an endodontist notes, “Obvious infection” and two days later an oral surgeon notes that the tooth is carious, infected, decayed, & non-restorable. Surgeon didn’t’ think the tooth would last long enough to reschedule: it was extracted within the hour. Even without pain and a rancorous smell, how can a carious tooth not be detected? Meanwhile, Dr. Theurer fills 2 front cavities that appeared overnight. He appears to forget me as he discusses Russian Lit with his assistant. I begin to feel like I’m evaporating & try to motion Theurer but I can’t move nor speak. The next thing I recalled was hearing the same sound repeatedly from a seemingly far distance. I vaguely recognized the sound as my name and struggled to become conscious. When I was able to open my eyes Dr. Theurer said, “You kind of tensed up there for a bit.” I then saw my arms straight up with fists clenched towards the ceiling. Theurer then left for about half an hour. At one point on my way home I became alarmed realizing I was driving. I wrote to the three dentists outlining their improper Tx and residual mental and physical difficulties I’m having: weakness, prickly cold at night, hands & feet tingling, diarrhea, nausea, daily nose bleeds, poor concentration, SOB, muscle aches, fatigue, ear pain w/ near constant ringing, pain in spine, muscle spasms, difficulty w/ memory, stomach pain, dizziness and flu-like Sx. Yep, it turns out that having an untreated infected molar for more than a month and nearly dying on no2 can cause such problems. Their response: None. Note, the dental probe surrounding the lost molar on first exam with Ludlow was 3.2.3: the molar most likely could have been saved.
