Taking out wisdom teeth is a painful recovery, I recall getting demerol, but that was way before all of the anti-pain med frenzy by the government. A friend of mine who is a Dr and whom I respect very much put it to me this way, Strong opiates relieve pain, what the government and the medical establishment won't say is that that includes emotional and psychological pain which is pervasive and because illicit opiates of one for or another have become plentiful and cheap, their abuse is widespread. It has little or nothing to do with responsible medical pain management with controlled substances.
Being kind to others costs nothing and enriches your life,
never forget how you felt when someone was once cruel to you,
we all have felt unloved at one time or another we should never want another to feel that way.
