[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (2 children) In Iraq. On guard duty. Go to the med station when I get off. Extracts two teeth, here's an aspirin, 24 hours bed rest. Back on guard duty. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (2 children) I hope, you got Paracetamol, or Ibuprofen instead of Aspirin, as the latter is an anticoagulant, which prevents the blood from thickening itself. Other than that, that's exactly the same medication I got in Germany when my wisdom teeth were extracted: Local anesthetics during the procedure, paracetamol for afterwards and a sick note for one day with the option to get it prolonged if necessary. Outside the US it's not as common to throw a ton of opioids at minor/medium pains. Which is why the US has an opioid crisis and we don't. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Motrin was the pill of choice when I was in the military. It was treated like a magic cure all for any ailment or injury, including dental work. No matter the issue, you got motrin. It's likely he got the same. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Isn't Motrin just a brand name? permalink fedilink source parent [–] AutoModerator@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Fuck you for your service. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago I mainly did it for the free college (which I later dropped out of). permalink fedilink source parent
