Dentists...

How is it that a normal dentist belittles everything "this will only hurt a little" right before something excrutiating for instance... but Dental surgeons exagerate everything?

Had two wisdom teeth out today, under sedation* and was told "do not drive, cook, clean, juggles chainsaws etc for 24 hours and you MUST have someone to look after you" well so far it's been 12 hours and after the wobblyness wore off I'm fine, why I would need someone to look after me is a mystery right now - sure I could probably have acted up a bit and found someone willing to nurse me back to health, but I'm not far gone enough to even start pretending.

* Supposedly I was awake, but from a momment or two after the intravenous stuff, till being awake in the recovery room (I don't remember waking up!) my mind is blank - except an unusual crunching noise that I remember rather more vividly than I'd like
