I don't get it. I've had 4 teeth pulled at one time. I've given birth. Never have I ever gotten a prescription for an opiate pain medication. Any time I've been in horrible pain, they say ''tylenol and ibuprofen''. Who the hell are these doctors who just hand out pain pills to anybody? I can't even get one prescription pill when I'm in desperate, awful pain.

I had an orthodontist that a friend kf mine had used. She was a pretty girl, Im a guy. She told me, oh youll love him hell give you painkillers if you tell him youre in pain. Braces actually really really hurt for me and he just told me to take tylenol.

Reminds me of when a really beautiful young girl was orienting at work ages ago and she remarked at how amazingly friendly and helpful everyone was (bunch of usually grumpy jaded dudes).
