‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly.. is there a practical reason why something like lidocaine isn't available to the average consumer?
It is, eg lidocaine patches. It has to be injected to really do much. Not aware of any injectables that are over the counter.
I have no idea. I've got some lidocaine viscous they gave me for the pain. I'm lucky enough to have medical, just not dental. But from experience, it helps temporarily numb the surface pain, but if it's in the root, or if you're pulling the tooth, it does not help.
Clove oil. Put a few drops on a cotton ball and put it against the tooth. Your whole mouth will go pretty numb but it will usually kill the pain for a while.
American healthcare sucks.
I've had relief for gum/tooth pain by just holding a whole clove on the affected area.
it is, but you need to have some chemistry knowledge to be able to extract it from things like anal lube, and that's where I think this DIY project will shine
