"What was that?"

Doc: "Oh, just a little local anesthetic. Tiny little needle, you probably barely even felt it!"

Thats not the point dude. Injectable anesthetics make me sick, like violently ill. Thats why I indicated that on the intake form and I specifically stated 'No anesthetic.'

Doc: "But...I have to make a small cut, its going to hurt a little."

And I said that I understand that and was willing to suck it up. That little anesthetic? Now I'm going to be puking my guts out for days.

Whats the point of even bothering with the intake form if you're just going to ignore it? I knew there was going to be a small cut, I knew it was going to hurt a little and I said that was all well and good.
Did you live?
