The wisdom of dirty dentistry...
Back when I was a 19yr old banana, all my wisdom teeth started coming in at once, impacting like crazy.
So, I took me along to the dentist down the road to have them all pulled. Together. At the same time. As I was a poor unemployed punk at the time, I negotiated to pay the anaethsetist up front, and then pay the dentist off.
Upon awakening from the general, the silly man then proceeded to argue the point. Groggily I disagreed, and he finally conceded, advising me, very kindly, to take aspirin* if I had pain.
Thank fuck one of my mates was a gainfully employed pharmacy assistant.. I'd only bled HALF to death by the time she found me passed out on my bed in a widening pool of mine own ichor.
I payed the dentist the money, as I'd arranged, waited 6 months and bricked his shopfront windows (which I could see from my 2nd floor bedroom window).Then waited for him to get them replaced, and sign-written, and then broke the left side only. Waited yet again, and then proceeded with only the right side. He spent a lot of time with wooden panels, thought he was in the clear.... and I did both sides again.
Nowadays I write letters. *shrugs*

(For the viewers at home, aspirin is an anti-coagulant. After having teeth pulled, the hole needs to have a good clot set in to staunch the bleeding and is VITAL for healing. It is NOT recommended for post-dental-work pain. Fucker tried to kill me, I think he got off easy, looking back)

For viewers at home
Aspirin isn't anywhere near that good an anticoagulant.

Perhaps he used the wrong term?
It is used as first aid for heart attacks due to its antithrombitic properties -- surely this would cause some concern when the patient was bleeding profusely?
Not saying the OP wasn't overreacting, but from what I can gather it seems a strange thing for a dentist to recommend to someone in that situation.

If 1banana were taking 325mg aspirin
And 4 to 6 at a time 2 to 4 hours apart(tk 2-4t ASA 325mg po q 2 to 6h prn pain) then yes it is that good of an anticoagulant. Me being allergic to aspirin, it's way better to me as I have almost bled to death twice from it (once was unintentional, the other was the discovery of said allergy).
Especially from several gaping holes in the mouth that will not close up for several days.

After I had my wisdoms out, dentist recommended not to take aspirin, but ibuprofen.
Man was a butcher and never wore a gown, preferring to pull teeth out in his rugby shirt but at least he didn't kill me...

Cunt
that's what you sound like to me.

Near death retribution via petty vandalism? Too right he got off lightly.

Then again, if you'd gone through the proper route he could well have lost his license/career etc. So no, you're not a cunt as far as I can see.

Although I would have said 19 was a bit old for bricking windows. Maybe try a bottle of parafin with a rag in the top next time?!
