    My dentist didn’t believe me when I got my wisdom teeth out when I said the anesthesia didn’t take. All 4 corners need their own numbing. I convinced him to give me another shot on the first one, but on the other 3 he straight up told me “No. You can’t feel it so I won’t do anything.” So I could feel a lot.

      Most medical “professionals” are neither, just dumb brutes who happen to be good at passing exams.

      I had to take an anxiety pill to stop me from having a panic attack, and which helped the anaesthetist to sedate me for my wisdom teeth.
