It is recorded in his biography that Che Guevara, who was a licensed MD as well as a revolutionary, carried a pair of extraction pliers in a case on his belt.
Bad teeth were a constant problem and Che would simply apply a good dose of rum and jerk the offending tooth out while a couple of mates held the patient down.
Do they still teach tooth extraction at barber college?

The epinephrine was no doubt used to control the bleeding. Lidocane is not only a good local anesthetic ether topical or injected sub-cutaneously, but injected as an IV controls some heart arrhythmias (PVCs).
If at first you don't secede, try, try again!

Thanks,....so the Epinephrine is not a pain killer then? so wouldn't necessarily be needed
They also mentioned stitching up afterwards,.. I have had teeth removed before, but never needed a stitch,... why would they have done that?
