So anyway, It was a simple procedure, I think I was under for 45 minutes (Yes, I'm a wuss. 
) at the most.. Everything's healing fine, I didn't even really need the pain medication he prescribed.
Until I noticed something today.
It just so happens that when he was sewing up my gums with that modern medical marvel known as dissolving thread, he happened to (On the left side) sew my cheek to my jaw.
I mean, this is a simple mistake, so wtf? If it's obvious to ME after two and a half days of healing, wouldn't it be at least somewhat obvious when he did it? Thinking back, though, there could have been a lot of blood.. but shouldn't you still check that kind of thing? D:
edit: Actually I just checked mine, and they did put sutures on the inside cheek to the gum. I guess it helps the healing process. nem-x fucked around with this message on 11-06-2004 at 10:32 PM.

They had to cut into my gums, break my wisdom teeth, and sew up my jaw, but they managed to not attach my cheek to my gums.

Dr Flea had this to say about Captain Planet:
I wouldn't know, I'm one of the lucky ones that has all his teeth and doesn't need to get his wisom teeth removed.
That's what I thought, fuckhead. 
But yeah, mine was a simple procedure (The upper ones were all out of the gum and everything, but couldn't stay if the lowers couldn't, so they were just simple tooth pulls; the sockets have healed over already), I don't see why sewing one side of my cheek to my jaw and not the other helps.
Sorry, I guess I just wanted to vent, and figured that a doctor sewing something to something it's usually not supposed to be attached to qualified. 
Guess I get to make a nice phone call tomorrow.
I had my teeth pulled earlier than would have typically been necessary. All 4 of them at once. I have braces and they wanted to make room so they signed me up and did it. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure the cheek might have been attached, but it's hard to say. All I remember for the first few days was trying to keep food out from that area.

Indeed.
The fact I'm British and it's the yanks who need them pulled makes it all the more amusing, at least for me.

Ah, but I have vicodin left over.
