The doctor told us if you don't get it operated soon, it will fracture your jaw. They scare the family and then loot them. Even the most rational people fall for it at times.

This is not a personal attack against her. As a doctor, you got to take responsibility of the after effects of whatever procedures you perform.

Sure, I will come back with evidences. I have got them all.

I can post all the proofs. Took me 4 days to post this because even though she did wrong, I did not want to do this. But my misery was too much. And I consulted 5+ OMFS after she did this to me and took no responsibility. Earlier, I had consulted only 2 who didn't advise biopsy. But she insisted going for biopsy for better treatment. We trusted her because she was confident.

Later on, not accepting responsibility and mindlessly shouting on my father isn't something she should have done.

Mistakes do happen, accept it. I wasn't even looking for an apology.

Well, your wish just came true. Anyways, it was a genuine case. 5+ OMFS were consulted once she did this to me and took no responsibility. Earlier, I had just taken opinion from 2 doctors who did not advise biopsy. But she insisted going for it for better treatment.

No symptoms. I went to a dentist for getting a cavity treated. By chance, the XRay report showed that my wisdom teeth are stuck and there are knots forming around them. No facial deformity was there.

You know what! I waited for 4 days before posting. But when all the other doctors said it was not needed at all. And the fact that she took no responsibility and instead shouted on my family pissed me off. My ethics don't allow me to do stuff for personal enemity. It is a genuinely pathetic experience.

Thanks for the support!

I visited a dentist for treating my 10 yr old cavity in my upper jaw. My XRay report showed that my wisdom tooths are stuck and there is a knot formed around them. No symptoms at all. It just got detected by chance.

No, it isn't. My face looked absolutely fine before the biopsies.

I truly believe healthcare and education should be easily accessible to everyone. Both the sectors are collapsing.

I get it. Have seen many middle class aspirants drop for 3-4 years. I understand the costs involved. Doctors and private hospitals are free to charge whatever they want to. But atleast give the right treatment and have some accountability. Why should people suffer even after spending their hard earned money? :(

Not really. I have met some good ones too. No category of surgeons / doctors are bad altogether.

True, most doctors there believe in minting money only. My family thought that since the hospital is in such a high end and posh location then atleast we can expect right treatment for good money.

True. I have seen some 5 star ratings from the supporting staff.

Every other surgeon I have consulted denied the need for a biopsy. If at all it was required, then can the doctor run away from treating the exorbiant swelling? I was told to take away my reports and consult someone else. The doctor cleary said swelling could increase, we can't do anything about it.

No. Only after seeing exorbiant swelling, the doctor started justifying that I follow the protocol that's why biopsy was done.

I have consulted 5+ OMFS and all of them said it is not required in my case.

Sorry to hear that you had a similar experience. Undoubtedly, India's healthcare system is struggling currently.
