Oh yeah, I did really want to be put to ***** but they said they can't do that. I don't know why, but I don't have much of a choice. It's either go to a different dentist and empty my entire bank account, or stay there and deal with it the way it is for cheaper.
Maybe you should ask why, and tell them you're nervous about being awake for the procedure. They might be able to find a way to manage it since frequently when people say something "can't" be done often what they mean is that it's "inconvenient". With some pressure they might be able to swing it.
