Why do I need teeth again?
Things you really, really don't want to hear at the dentists office:
Also, WTF BlueCross BlueShield? You do realize that you are also the provider of my health insurance, right? So when that untreated abscess spreads to the bone, and I can't fight off the infection because I am malnourished from not being able to chew for months, you are going to be out a hell of a lot more than the cost of a root canal/crown combo.
On the plus side, I did walk ten miles today in an attempt to walk off my anger. It didn't work, mind, but it improved my cardiovascular fitness. Good thing, since I sure BCBS has a four month waiting period for bypass surgery*.
*Laugh all you want, but my freshman year they refused to pay an emergency room bill because I did not receive pre-authorization. Apparently, being mostly unable to breathe does not count as a life threatening emergency. I guess I should have waited until I stopped breathing entirely.
- She's bleeding, I need more gauze.
- That's not good.
- It looks like I'm going to have to cut back your gums
- Now you may see some smoke coming from your mouth. That's normal.
- It seems that the insurance has rejected your claim. They have a 12 month waiting period for root canals.
