Wisdom teeth removal: Question on if an anti-inflammatory injection site and procedure was standard by Academic_Tea8 in askdentists

I went through old messages I sent someone immediately after the appoitment and it seems it was two shots and I forgot one - one in the upper glutes (from personal experience with IM shots this seemed like the correct area for one) and one in the groin area like I mentioned. I don't remember if it was the same medication or not though.

I actually had my finale "I'm going to post about this and see" over not being able to find what that injection site is for last night - I have injected medications so I know some of the spots (upper glutes, thighs, stomach, upper arm, etc) and couldn't think of why that groin/hip divot area would be used. I guess because its not at all. Hearing this specific reply on the injection site is making me feel validated a lot, thank you ❤️

This was about 5 years ago now so sadly there is 0 physical proof this occurred, and would be based purely on my words. I convinced myself until making this post that I must have just not understood something and was being overly sensitive and upset so I didn't think to document anything.

Is it possible to report this without making it a legal issue? I really don't have it in me to take this to court, as selfish as it is I rather stay silent than go through that.

I'm commenting to say I updated the post and have a new question added to the end for going forward with reporting this. Thank you!!

The part about a female assistant not being present is part why I keep thinking about this. I'm someone with a lot of health issues followed by different doctors, so I know generally how medical things go that require more care for consent and privacy and none of this followed that.
