This story happened around 2011.
I was suffering for a few years from a feeling in the upper side of inside my mouth.
I used to think it was some piece of food or hair stuck there, and tried to remove it with my tongue and later fingers.
Later, I started thinking it was some injury, but never thought enough about it.
I then went to a nose-ear-throat doctor, which said it is a dentist's job.
Then I went to a dentist, which said it was a surgeon's job, which then referred me back to a nose-ear-throat doctor.
I might have switched the order, due to the time that passed, or switched the surgeon with another form of specialty, but what did happen for sure was at least 3 visits to specialist doctors which refrained from treating me and referred me back to one of the specialties I turned to before.
Each visit cost cash obviously, which was not much due to a form of medicare, but it did have self participation ingredient.
I then got to a nose-ear-throat doctor which said he can make a biopsy if I wanted, which was what I hoped for, but he could not perform it in the clinic we were at.
He said I needed to reach another clinic where he worked.
I did, and he did the biopsy, and I was completely calm and content that he removed the problem from within my mouth, and then he perceived to put an ointment inside my mouth.
I said I felt no hurt (He insisted on using anesthetics before) and he said it was to stop the bleeding.
I said I do not fear a bleeding and he can spare the ointment, but he insisted again.
He then waited until the bleeding passed by itself in order to put the supposed anti-bleeding material inside my mouth, and I did express my wondering about it.
I then checked and found that the ointment contained silver nitrate.
Nitrate is a known carcinogen which I wonder why medical substances contained as late as of 2011, or was it even 2012.
