Need Help !!!
Ok so no hating please!!!
About 4 weeks ago I had sever wisdom tooth pain it was on a weekend so I went to the ER. They gave me a few pain pills to help until I got to the dentist went to the dentist a few days from that she told me my wisdom tooth was infected the nerves were showing and I would need it out so I made an appointment for that I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled ... She gave me a prescription to help the pain I did as the the bottle said took 1 every 4 hours ... Well the pain got worse and I am pretty sure I have a Dry Socket... the dentist was closed so I went to Convince Care to get a few more pain meds to hold me over mind you I'm in severe pain !!! Now comes the dumb part yes I am an idiot!!! In my dumb pain ways I changed the subscription to more than I was prescribed... I know this is wrong when I went to the counter I kinda changed my tune I said I think that's a 25 (which is what the doctor had given) instead of the 35 which I made it... Well they they caught on and well th police got called ... the only reason. I wasn't arrested was because I had my 3 month old =(((( this is my first offence I'm not an addict I don't take pills regularly I.. was.. just... in
... pain!!! The pain thought for me. Here I am still in pain because of my numbness...I'm scared! I don't want to go to jail ... I am turning turning myself in Monday the cop thanked me for being honest with him. I regret it ive been crying for hours in end I've never done anything bad in my life...what will they do to me?? Will they put me in jail for a long time will I have to pay 5,000$ or more gah I'm so scared.

I worked Oral Surgery as a nurse for a few years and have experienced DRY SOCKET. You would have had enormous pain and should have just gone to any hospital. It should have been repacked with a gauze that has been soaked in clove oil. That would have helped you till you saw your Dentist. I am concerned that ANY DENTIST WORTH HIS WEIGHT, wouldn't see you immediately or have come in as an emergency to his office in this case. I just don't get his lack of responsibility.
Dentists are very competitive here in Canada and to lose a patient due to this lack of care would be considered atrocious!
YOUR changing the prescription was just plain STUPID. There are regulated amounts that are standard for a prescription...anything different is scrutinized and questioned. Once your you've got legal aid, I cant imagine any court wasting a whole lot of time and money on you. A one off with warning should be the expected outcome. Smarten up and get some counselling in the interim. May I ask...is it possible your an Adult with ADHD? Your scattered thought process suggests it. It's not a bad thing, but is real. Hang in there. As a Mom, you need to think smart all the time for the future of your child. Education is never finished.

My probable cause hearing is rescheduled for the 5th ... My public defender seems uncaring... greatt. I'm scared i just want this to be over... i want to get a slap on the wrist and to live life not scared i hate this, I've learned so many lessons in this but it's not up to me .. i just hope it doesn't go on my record because this apartment places we just moved to does re-evaluations (criminal checks) and we could get kicked out for this... sorry for the vent just having a bad day
Thanks for sharing your story Coco and keeping us updated. It sure is scary and I'm sure will stop a few people from altering scripts. It is always very tempting to do.
Good luck and I really hope all goes well.

Well my probable cause hearing was at 11... left my house at 10... well guess how BAD things are ?? My tire blew on the way! thank goodness someone stopped to help and I put my spare on... I called the number on the paper I was given for my court date.. the women on the other end was rude to me said I was given a Public Defender (though I had no knowledge of this) she gave me his number I called and talk to him about what was going on he said he would TRY to get a continuance I asked about what would happen if i could not make it would I get arrested he said he was not sure =( .... but anyway I got my spare tire on and it was flat! luck huh? so that guy that stopped (he was a veteran) his house was right next to where i was pulled over! so I drove to his house he put air in my tire... I got to the court house 10 min late but got there! .... well i went into the court room and 10 min later my court case was continued! UGH! BUT! I did get to talk to my Public Defender about EVERYTHING.. he did say it was ok that i got a continuance because the actual prosecutor was not even there ... he said he would talk to the prosecutor about what could be done about my case... =/ lets hope they understand my case ! but I have to call my PD this week (tomorrow) to let him know my address change and then call middle of next week for any info...
