Had wisdom teeth removed....wow

I had my wisdom teeth removed back about 10 years. They were impacted. Each tooth was sawed into 4 pieces and surgically extracted because of the impaction. For the lower 2, they cut my jaw slightly to remove them. They gave me a shot, I was supposed to be under by the time I counted to 10... at 30 he ordered another shot (I HATE needles) and that's when I went under. I awoke in a room with nobody else there and forced myself to get up. As I stumbled out to the horror of the nurses (not supposed to be moving for another 30min) I fell, and got back up, refusing to give in to the anesthesia, and I was helped back to the waiting room where I was sitting with tears rolling down my face (the anesthetic caused that reaction in me, no pain, obviously).

I got an infection about a week or two later. It swelled my lower gums till I couldn't close my jaw one morning. They took a large flat tweezers like object and squeezed my gums till they exploded, refusing to give me any anesthetic (most likely because they don't make any money on it from the insurance companies).

Basically, I was unable to eat real solid food for a good 2 weeks or so.
