The gaslighting

My 32k dental specialist (so far) jammed my lower jaw hard back into my ears. I instantly went from no pain to spasms and ear popping and pain. And I politely said to him that pushing my jaw made me uncomfortable.

So I heard all sorts of bs tuesday about maybe needing hearing aids (!) To me seeking out an ENT to see whats causing my ear pain and stuffiness. I know who caused it. Now its gaslighting. I'm a female nut imagining this. I just spent retirement income fortune for this.its cover-our-asses time.

I ask for a referral to ENT. i thought next week. No, end of Nov, far away. I don't need an ENT. This is kicking the can to someone else to push off what he caused onto another dr.

I didn't schedule the referral bc why? I don't need an ENT. I'm beyond pissed.
