I’ll accept a brutal course of treatment or poor treatment at the hands of medical professionals for this question.

    Wisdom teeth. Sure I was knocked out but after the sedatives and stuff wore off I had nothing for the pain. They said I could return to work the next day, is that supposed to be a joke?

      I had two removed. local anesthetic only. I was not knocked out.

      I drove myself to work directly from surgery and worked a 12 hour shift in a 100° factory with only regular Tylenol to soothe the pain.

      why? because I’m American. and no, that was not a statement made with pride.
