Accused of nerve damage from an extraction that went by the book
This account was submitted by a healthcare provider and de-identified before publication. Details that could identify a patient or practice have been removed, and it is shared with the provider’s consent.
The review stated as fact that I had "caused permanent nerve damage" during a wisdom tooth extraction and called me "reckless."
The claim is false and I know exactly how the procedure and healing went, but explaining it publicly would mean disclosing the patient's clinical details, which I will not do.
On a surgeon's page, a phrase like nerve damage outweighs years of careful work, and consultation requests dropped noticeably.
I gathered records for an attorney, who warned that any public rebuttal risked disclosing protected information, so the claim stands.
