Dental Extraction with Swuss Army Knife, Screwdriver etc
This extraction took place at Base Camp Mt everest.
Admittedly they had some Lidocaine for local anasthetic.
They also had one dental tool to extract but also used
Swiss Army Knife and Screwdiver as "Lifters"
I now need to obtain some Lidocaine -- Any thoughts please?

Having had an abcess and a tooth removed can safley say that was the most painfull thing I have expierenced. Carnt imagine the dentists using a swiss army knife but if needs must and thats all you have youd have to do it that way

I think that was brilliant, its just the thing we need to know about, no amount of descriptive words will beat watching that.
Now as you say RS,.. we need to find that Lidocaine

I use Lidocaine almost daily - but it's in medicated plasters at 5%. While I find them very good for assisting with pain relief, I doubt anything useful could be extracted from them... pity.
That was well worth watching though - thanks RS.

What was the other drug he gave her,.. it sounded like `Eferferine`, or something similar?
The two drugs were Epinephrine, and Lidocaine
Epinephrine and Lidocain, are both on persciption only from this country and the States, so does anyone know how we can get it?
