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 mainly did it for the free college (which I later dropped out of).

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.

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.
It’s likely he got the same.
