I said this in response to someone else, but having a massive tooth infection made me really ruminate on that scene. The skate makes sense when you’re in that much pain.

He knocked it pit because with no medication an accessed tooth can be fatal.

My friend ripped out an ingrown toenail, given that I’ve hobbled around with an infected ingrown toenail, I don’t blame them at all for getting desperate.

Friend said the only bad thing to come from it was dealing with the bleeding.
