Traumatized facial nerve CVII during ear surgery, leaving me with Bell's Palsy and excruciating pain. Sent me home next day with a script for Tylenol-3, which did not relieve pain unless I took it at 4x the maximum prescribed rate, which I could not sustain without destroying my liver. Pain kept me awake all night. He agreed to see me the next day at a hastily arranged emergency appointment, but angrily dismissed me and refused to prescribe stronger or Tylenol-free painkillers (codeine would have done). This left me awake in excruciating pain for 90 hours (4 days, 3 nights). Pain then turned chronic. Before this surgery I was full time college junior, A-student, working full time, engaged to be married, and filled with dreams/ambitions for my career. A year later I had lost all this except my low paying college job. I complained of pain up to three years after surgery and Goldenberg's response was: "I suggest you learn to live with it." Eventually I lost the ability to keep a job. When I found a pain mgt. clinic fifteen years later, it took morphine level painkillers to begin to give relief, but by then it was too late to affect full, long term relief. That has to happen within the first few months of the trauma. Result: thirty years in severe chronic ear pain.
