    In a pinch, CVS minute clinic, get a script for antibiotics, and take some alieve. By the time your home. Hopefully infections gone. Meanwhile tell your company you may need an emergency room visit, you’ll send them the bill. They sound like a bunch of Morons. I guarantee they make and keep their Dentist appointments. The mentality of some Dispatch, is very ignorant. F### them

    Grandma used to tie us to the bed when the child teeth got loose prior to incoming adult teeth.

    Ram a fire torch you run, string stays with tooth out.

    Whew.

    That one extraction I talked about I spent a year increasing in fever and frequency as the abscess worked up infecting. I was just too stubborn. That would be the death of me if I ignored it much longer. Doc did not say how long but its something good that was done.

    Once that tooth was out all of that period of sickness and increasing sinking as it were away from life stopped.

    Now I dance. Where be the wimmen.

    (Ech... not me.. not good. =)

    If they threaten you after you tell them you're to fatigued to drive because of a medical condition make sure you report them. Take pictures of the entire Qualcomm conversation. If they call, dont answer, send them a message saying you cant talk because you're mouth is ####ed from the tooth. Gold luck.

    In the era of today's time of things.

    Here's what I would do. Get a Uber, Lyft, taxi. Have them take you to a dentist you find by looking them up on Google. Do your research prior, check reviews on the dentists.

    Go get it fixed, explain to ya dispatcher you need a moment of time for this, and that you'll update as soon as you can. This removes the aggrivation and settles as being a better compermise for all parties.
