  So-called “alpha-male” couldn’t walk in a straight line after some dental-grade anaesthetic.

  Not gonna lie, after I had my wisdom teeth removed, I was goofy balls for the next four hours. They put me in a recovery room.

  Not hating on the guy for that. When you have your wisdom teeth removed, they put you under, and recovery is a bitch

    Yeah I spent the rest of the day vomiting and too nauseous to stand

      Yeah, I’m not gonna judge the guy considering how he looked after surgery. Anyone would look like that.

      This thread make it sound like wisdom tooth removal is some huge surgery. I just had some local anesthesia as the tooth was pulled. Fun cracking sounds in my head, some bleeding from where the tooth was that stopped after an hour or two. But it was pretty quick and I could just go about my day afterwards.

      I guess different places and different people?

        Tooth?

        I had all 4 extracted when I was 16, long before they came in. And, yes, it WAS surgery performed by an endodontist. I was sedated for the procedure, and it took several hours for me to recover from the sedation.

        There are many different ways that people deal with their wisdom teeth. This is how I dealt with mine.

        I had bleeding for hours, and whatever is wrong with my stomach meant an endless cycle of nausea and being waterboarded by my own blood.

    You know how some of the genes associated with red hair are also associated with resistance to pain killers? Would it be appropriate to tease someone because they carried those genes? Or, would it be hate speech?

    This is like the opposite: he could have an innate sensitivity to the medication and what’s why he went “goofy balls” to require a wheelchair.

    I got “lucky” with my wisdom teeth; I was conscious during the whole removal procedure and was even able to drive myself home. But, I didn’t have any choice in how deep / what orientation my wisdom teeth ended up in while my bones were fusing as a small child. It could have been a much more difficult procedure and made me “goofy balls” through no choice / with no control of my own.

      So… just because you chose less deleterious painkillers for your wisdom teeth extraction doesn’t impact your morality. You are still the same shitbag (or not) before and after. And so is he. That is not the argument that I was making.

      I was simply commenting upon the fact that, after such heavy sedation, we all look pretty goofy, regardless of who or what we are

        I was agreeing with and “yes, and”-ing your post.

        The image is denigrating him based on something entirely outside his choices and control; that’s unfair because “after such heavy sedation, we all look pretty goofy”.

  Have you ever been so manly that you couldn’t walk after getting your wisdom teeth removed?

  source

  • Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Not to defend the guy but when I got my wisdom teeth removed they wouldn’t let me walk. They said it was a liability thing that any time they discharged a patient who received any amount of anesthetic in the prior 24 hours they had to wheel the patient out in a wheelchair. So I had to sit in the chair until they got me out the hospital doors but after that they didn’t give a fuck what I did.

      My experience exactly, I had hand surgery late afternoon and spent the night at hospital because I only woke up from sedation at around midnight, but since it hadn’t been 24 hours between the anaesthetic and the early morning discharge, wheelchair it was.

  Legally, hospitals wont let you leave without being wheeled out in a wheelchair under general anesthesia. Doesn’t matter if you feel ok to walk, it’s a liability thing with them
