"Extracted wisdom tooth"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Oral surgery

(as the patient),

18 months ago I had my wisdom tooth extracted at Lincoln hospital. I was advised it was close to a nerve but signed a form saying I accept the consequences but wanted it all removed. It wasn’t. Now 18 months later same painful issues. I was told all taken out so not happy.

On surgery day I had to get there for 6,00am, but didn't have my surgery until after 6pm. I was discharged (felt like I was thrown out) at midnight. No follow up care or discharge advice or update. Ended up with infection due to that lack of care. 

Not wanting to go through that again but looks like that will happen
