Provided by YP.comI have my wisdom tooth pulled by this group in 2007.
I soon as the Dentist finish with the procedure, they already rushing me to stand up and go home. My leg was still very weak and my breathing was still very shallow as if i there is a plastic bag over my head.
They put me to sleep which I assumed they have used some fentanly and some versed or the worst one Ketamine which considered as conscious sedation procedure medication.
I tried to talk but my jaw was very numb and have a hard time clearing my saliva. I type in to my phone very quickly asking the dental assistant that i feel that i am not breathing and TYPE in the word Oxygen Pls, which she immediately put back the simple mask to my face. Then suddenly a voice of a Man said He doesn t need it and grab the mask from my face. I didn t know who was it because at that moment i have my eyes close trying to relax my breathing while the Oxygen mask was in my face. As soon as the mask was remove I felt so unsafe with my breathing and that feeling got worse, when after the mask was remove. Two person garb me by the arm from the chair or bed that i was lying on.
As they drag me with my very unsteady gait into the wheelchair, i tried forcing my eyes to open so i can orient my self to my sounding.
Every heavy step was similar to being intoxicated during my college days and the only difference is the feeling of being suffocated from something and drowning from your own saliva. I was coughing while my mouth was drooling with blood.
As soon as the brought me out to the parking lot. I become like vampire which the bright sun irritated my eyes. I could here my friend who was picking me up kept asking me if i am Oky.
The next day my friend explain to me that i look BAD the term he used said it all. He said I was Coughing, Breathing very shallow and could hardly stand up.
By the way at that time i was an ER nurse who did a lot of mild sedation and now i work as sedation nurse. It is now very clear to me that what ever they did to me was not safe practice and not even the standard care for people who had conscious sedation.
Its been more than 5 years but such horrible experience still linger in my head. I have meed at least 6 patient of Dr Mark Elder with same experience, two of them were my acquaintances from my former Dentist (Dr, Aquino of Vallejo California) and the other 4 where my patient at Kaiser Permanente.
If any of you have the same experience that I have feel - free to to contact me On Facebook Matchodansir@yahoo.com. We have to do something about this.
