    The dentist slipped when pulling one of my non-impacted teeth and hit me in the back of the throat with his whole body weight. He prescribed me 10 days of hydrocodone and when I called back and said the default dose still left me with a sore throat he called me in another 10 days of a higher dose.

    Needless to say, my throat didn’t hurt anymore and I played WoW a lot (~2007)

      Good ole days haha. Doctors totally overestimate the addiction potential of a short term prescription and underprescribe now.
