Crest Night Effects – Part II
When I arrived on 20th July 2004 at the dental practice from Dr. R. in Vancouver, BC, I noticed in the waiting room two guys who almost looked like panhandlers. One person had one of his leg amputated and the other wore a T-shirt with the Yin Yang symbol on it. I had to wait for a while in his waiting room. After Dr. R. had called me in his office, he mentioned these two men and insinuated that I looked a bit distressed.
The minute he looked at my teeth he said, “That is interesting.†He acknowledged the new damage and took pictures of it. His assistant M. made a mold of my teeth. When the dentist dismissed me, he told me that he’d send me a letter describing the result of his examination. When I asked to pay for his service on that day, he told me that he wouldn’t charge me anything for this visit.
I was eagerly awaiting his letter, and when I hadn’t received it by 27th July, I called his practice and spoke with one of the receptionists. She told me that they are having computer problems, but he’ll send the letter today. I received a package from him on 30th July. But the content of it was puzzling.
I received a mold from someone else’s dentures. Additionally, the letter he had written up seemed somehow odd. I called him and told him that he had sent me a mold that couldn’t be from my dentures. And he asked me to send it back to him.
As soon I had received the letter and a picture of my damaged teeth I contacted lawyers in Seattle to get them involved in my case.
While this was going on I met a friend from Germany in August on Vancouver Island whom I showed my damaged teeth, and she thought, too, that they looked pretty awful now. On August 12th I drove up to Whistler to meet people from the Mountaineer group. On my way up there I wanted to drop of the mold, which wasn’t from my dentures, and pick-up the model that belonged to my teeth. But on that day I arrived pretty late in Vancouver and decided not to stop by Dr. R. dental practice. As of this day I still have the incorrect mold which you can see right here.
But all this shouldn’t be the reason why I didn’t succeed in getting a lawyer here in Seattle to support me in my claim. And when you follow this story in Part III, IV, V, VI, and VII you can judge for yourself.
