A woman (32F) recently underwent dental surgery and was instructed by her doctor to have a responsible adult with her for the first 12 hours after the procedure. She asked her boyfriend (32M) of 15 years to take the day off work to help her, as she had no family in town. However, things didn’t go as planned, and she was left to fend for herself while in pain and under sedation.
