are cunts.
We all know it’s difficult to get a dentist appointment and going private is jolly expensive so many people, in search of those bright white teeth seen on “celebrities” such as has been Simon Cowell etc now regularly jet off abroad for cut price cosmetic dentistry.
Alas, sometimes it doesn’t go very well..
As in the case of one Leanne Abeyance who says she “wants to chop her head off and start again”, after the operation led her nose to collapse and a life of constant pain..
Luckily a head transplant wasn’t available as Ms Abeyance burdened Guys Hospital with an implant removal operation.
Furthermore…She had started using a prosthetic nose but had to stop after suffering an allergic reaction.
Whoops.
“Abeyance admits that she probably should have waited for reconstructive surgery instead of opting for a prosthetic nose.”
So in summary she’s now a morphine addicted hermit without a nose and likely a burden to the Nanny State for life.

Mrs B mkII was a nurse practitioner, she also had a rather interesting client base.
Those that could not que jump through private care or family connections would sometimes venture abroad to have operations in their native countries.
Often they would return with hepatitis, infections or other complications and just bang on the door of the NHS.
You will probably not like this but the NHS to an extent uses a triage system of survivability and need (you may be top of the list but you are fucked so why bother), so when low priority patients make themselves high priority it burdens the system and also some of the complications are worse than the initial problem.
I would just say, should you agree to any unnecessary medical procedure abroad a system of renumerification should be put in place to reimburse the NHS if it has to clean the mess up

Did you know any infected or troubled gnashers can kibosh any chance of a kidney transplant?
I have been ‘suspended’ I or ‘paused’ from the transplant list. As one of my teeth is causing me no end of trouble right now. Got to see a dentist, but he just gave me antibiotics and that sort of helped. However, the tooth is still there and it has not been worked on yet. I am also ‘not allowed’ to take ibuprofen. But fuck that. They are the only thing that stop it hurting. So I took it.
As for the transplant? I have seen friends and fellow patients full of enthusiasm and chomp at the bit for one. All that ‘I can go on holiday’ stuff (what is peoples’ obsession with going to shitholes like Egypt or Turkey?). However, two of those friends recently had transplants (on the NHS, of course) and they went rapidly downhill and are now dead. So, thinking about it, I’m better off as I am and with the troublesome teeth.
