any unsolicited messages should be handled carefully. if they claim to be from some governmental organization look their contact number up in a few places to call them back and then use that number instead. i would not trust some random website for verification until i had more information about that website.

sadly, there's just too much BS going on out there these days and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

if i don't know who's calling i usually will not call them back and ignore them, if they call several times i may pick up. usually scammers do not call back multiple times here. the other thing now that is happening is that when i do call back the number is no longer in service - that is very likely a scam caller.
My friend came right over and put a block on them and reported spam but nothing will
happen to prevent this happening again.
It shook me up as I have been been trying for over three months to sort out dentist here. Today was hours wasted and one person talking to me like i was time wasting . I honestly didn't need this on top of it all

Recently I mentioned my dental issues.
I requested a copy of my referral allegedly sent over 3 months ago. I was told that they didn't think I could get this copy but I found out that receiving a copy is perfectly within my rights. I don't understand why they didn't do this in the first place

Therefore I've written requesting a copy from the manager.
If I had this had been sent. I could have gone directly to the hospital.

This has caused me a lot of pain and stress plus a couple of other health issues that I didn't have before.

My tooth cracked on a second paid for filling which has caused now an infection. The first filling failed hence I had to pay again for it to be replaced.

Honestly people today makes no sense to me they just create more and more problems by not dealing with the job at hand. Causing everyone huge pressures. including their selves

i had a bit of pain in a tooth a while ago and was worried it was a filling that had cracked or failed and so i went in to have it checked. new dentist (our previous one retired, back problems, all that bending over people...) he had x-rays taken and checked it (all looked ok to him) and just said come back if it gets worse but it hasn't so far. he did say to use some toothpaste for sensitive teeth and i did that for a few months. i was worried as last time i had this happen it didn't get better and i ended up with a root-canal and crown which i've hated since that happened. getting older bites...

Yikes there's been a lot of bad press on canal fillings a crowns.
I'd be edging towards a false tooth on that one. But I definitely wouldn't if it was any one of the back teeth. I might be wrong on this but I think removing those teeth can cause arthritis in the jaw for anyone. in my case even cause my jaw to break

I'm positive that replacement filling that cracked to the root of my tooth. I found out why I was in such terrific pain on a hygiene appointment

I didn't have and gum disease until that. The dentist said that there was nothing wrong with my teeth all the previous years. Even the bridges, then he suddenly wanted everything pulled out on my upper jaw. I'm so pleased I did my researching

I am assuming that he was totally unaware of how dangerous this idea was for a person with my conditions; because I had too repeat over and over again of what i had been informed would happen, as explained to me by an extremely knowledgeable consultant.

Had I not met this consultant we wouldn't be having this conversation at all. Because all operations on joints or back of any kind was also a massive risk.

All this was discovered through a scan with blue dye inserted into my spine.
Again this was another mistake made, as it wasn't supposed too have reached my neck but as it did they could clearly see that there was a missing disc under the ball of my neck In that case the dangerous mistake was forgiven by myself due too the valuble information gained.

The consultant was both annoyed and relieved. Annoyed because of the danger to my life and relieved because he could give me a accurate diagnoses which has prevented me taking on any other operations

On the subject of a scamming attempt yesterday.
Apparently laws have been passed, only online not mobile phones.

They are going to hold to account all these scamming advertising that's been going on ever since I have been online. That's good news. There's been ten laws passed recently 😳 all very interesting.

On a different subject
Another law was for animals rights and consideration of their welfare and feelings. I hope they will put a stop to these tortures in laboratories here. That's been something that has broken my heart for years.

The farming also will have to improve. A recent story on a certain cow farm was so distressing. Hopefully that will improve now as well as the chicken industry.
