The worst I've had was about three hours in an Army dental chair
having oral surgery, without pain killers. Captain Hurt (his real name)
told me couldn't understand how I could sit there without passing out
from the pain. I did damaged the dental chair, though. I bent both
armrests in by several inches.


Hell, I did that last week, even with a double-dose of the locals- he
stuck the probe in, and I about came off the chair. Idiot kept asking me
'do you feel pain, or just pressure?' After I explained to him the lack
of a difference, he got out the needle again. Took me a good ten minutes
to convince him to give me a prescription for something to get through
the next 48 hours- I had to explain to him in very clinical terms why I
couldn't take OTC NSAIDs any more, and how they made my face swell up.
Damn DEA and AMA have gotten all medical practitioners so scared of
being labeled 'drug addiction enablers', that you have to fight to get
meds for legitimate reasons.

So why wouldn't they give you any meds?
