Erm..."oh you're having the worst pain of your life, here have a combination muscle relaxant and acetaminophen mix that's available over the counter. And also loose a days income"
I'm curious what a doctor taking the pain seriously would look like to you. Are you expecting something like a locally injected anesthetic or full in-patient sedation?
Either! Both would be better than throwing up from the pain, passing out, and then being sneered at for both.
Perhaps at least a prescription pain killer taken orally?
I would certainly support some sort of local, along the lines of what dentists use.
