Foolish me at 24 with all 4 wizzdumb teeth in, and impacted - I had all 4 out on a "morning off" from work. I had a coworker take me to the oral surgeon's office, got doped up on IV Valium and an O2 nose-clip, and he chiseled away at all 4, added stitches, and my coworker pick me up just before lunchtime. I went back to the office intending to work the rest of the day. After perhaps 30 minutes of non-productive staring at my PC in a haze, my manager wanders by, looks at me, and says "Kevin, you're green - go home". I went. And called in sick the next two days. And got a tetracycline capsule I was supposed to take to avoid infection in the wounds, stuck in one of the tooth sockets, instead, where it burst, causing a gagging fit. Not my finest hours.
