I saw Dr. Lung six years ago with a severe case of osteomyelitis in my jaw. He took me in for a thorough debridement of the site and set the course for healing with daily IV treatments and strong antibiotics. The pain I prior to that is astounding. Fast forward six years later, I've moved to Calgary, it's COVID time, and I sense a familiar pain. Excruciating pain. Where other dentists and endodontists missed the cause, Dr. Lung caught it and treated it with compassion & expertise. I drove from Calgary to Edmonton just to see him. I knew he would treat me as it was an emergency. Yes, I had to wait a few hours, as he had 5 emergencies that day. But HE SAW ME and operated that day. Why is this amazing? Because in Calgary, they all had a minimum of a 3 mth wait to see me just for a consult. My face was swelling by the hour. I would not be alive if I had to wait 3 mths. Thankful for a triage system. Thankful for people with compassion and those who had to wait. I am alive.
