Nothing says “you’re in good hands” like this
Here’s the original TikTok caption since she mentions it in the video:
“I have severe hEDS and TMJ, but I’ve never had something this traumatic before. My jaw dislocated at 4:00 a.m. I rushed into my mom’s room to wake her up and they called the ambulance. I was throwing up, having a panic attack and trying not to pass out from the pain. When EMS arrived they said ‘come on let’s go,’ meaning they couldn’t help at the house, so we decided to drive ourselves to Altus.
When we got there everyone was taking their sweet time. The nurse who wheeled me back asked, ‘So what’s going on today,’ as if you couldn’t tell… as if I could speak. So my mom said my jaw is dislocated. I waited a while for the doctor to get in and once he did, this is what happened.
The video cuts off since my mom’s phone wasn’t working. At the end he said, ‘I’m just trying to figure out if she did it by throwing up.’ So my mom said I yawned, and now I’m throwing up from the pain and gastroparesis. Then she asked if he’s ever done this before, and he said yes with an attitude. He said his niece deals with the same issue and he could pop it back in for me, but then proceeded to just stare at me. She asked, ‘So are you gonna put it back in?’ and he said, ‘I don’t know.’ He ended up storming out a few minutes after this since we wouldn’t deal with his attitude. Later on I was given nausea medicine and morphine, and they did the scans while I was out. The doctor popped it back in while I was under morphine so I don’t even remember that part. My jaw was dislocated for 3 hours and 15 minutes. I’m so tired of being treated this way. I knew I would have to wait for X-rays, but this was a doctor prolonging care. I will be making a formal complaint and contacting the Texas medical board.”
TL;DR: She says her jaw dislocated after yawning, the doctor questioned why she was “freaking out,” said he could reset it but then walked out, and it remained dislocated for over three hours before being reset under morphine. She plans to file a complaint.
