Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,940 | I have been chewing over this and reading all the news feeds,and my sleep was totally disrupted by dreams of all the google and media headlines regarding Robins dentists court hearing.
"Dentist told Robin Read to gargle with listerine 1 year later he was dead from mouth cancer"
Do i now have to live with the thought that not only did he fail to diagnose Robins ulcer as cancerous,but he also prescribed a treatment that actually was going to make the tumour more aggressive!!!! Robin used listerine at the rate of a bottle a week for the next six months only changing to the alcohol free version when the pain and burning on his tongue became unbearable.
God this modern world just sucks
