The pain varies wildly from person to person. A friend of mine was out of order for two weeks after having a single tooth removed. I had all 4 removed and recovered in a few days and without much painkillers.

IMHO the doctors should prescribe less at first and see if it would be enough, but I also get that they are overcrowded and the same patient coming back for just more painkillers might be a little too much.
