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.
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.
Oh wow everyone look at mr fancy pants over here with his healthcare and his lack of an opioid crisis /s
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.
Fuck you for your service.
I mainly did it for the free college (which I later dropped out of).
