lmao like 3 weeks ago for some reason the top of my big toe like dried up cracked and bled one night (not like athletes foot though) and I have no idea why. I made a little splint so it could heal without me bending my toe and cracking it, and applying light moisturizer carefully, it's almost healed, medical bill avoided
Oh another fun one is ganglion cysts are easily treated by absolutely crushing your hand with a textbook
Y'all remember that scene in Castaway where Tom Hanks has to rip out an abcessed tooth hitting himself in the jaw with a coconut? I kinda did something similar.
Dentist told me it'd be $1200 to pull 2 teeth that were getting fucked up by wisdom teeth that I also need to remove. I didn't have the money and they wouldn't let me do payment plans so I just said fuck it and didn't worry about it. A couple years go by and it starts becoming swollen and painful.
After finding antibiotics online that were meant for fish, I also bought some painkillers from a friend because I couldn't afford to see a doctor and also they wouldn't prescribe them anyway.
Took a bunch of painkillers one night and pulled the tooth myself with some pliers and used the fish antibiotics to prevent any infection and just stuffed hydrogen peroxide covered gauze in my mouth for a few hours.
Still haven't gotten my wisdom teeth removed yet but I don't think I'll do that myself. I always love to see the look on my non American friend's faces when I tell them this. This country is a joke.
jesus fuck wtf dude
I saw a dude that started a gofundme for something like $500 for getting an abcessed tooth removed otherwise he was going to die from the infection. This is the reality for millions of people in this goddamn country.
That shit doesn't even make sense from a hardcore piece of shit money only capitalist view point, think of the amount of money a country invests into each person in school etc, the worth of their job experience etc., but the government are really gonna let them die for the sake of $500, your country isn't just fucked morally, its also stupid as fuck.

had to get two wisdom teeth removed, one of which was sideways which meant hourslong, complicated surgery. Paid a total of like 50 bucks. This was in kazakhstan. Guess we are greatest country in the world.
