I remember I was at a tournament and a teammate's parents were in attendence. The field conditions were really terrible (uneven patches of grass interspersed with gravel/dirt) so I quickly lost a lot of skin underneath my elbows and right above my hips from diving around on that crap.
Dude's mom saw all my missing skin and decided that something must be done. So she goes to the convenience store and buys a big bottle of hydrogen peroxide and gets one of my good friends to just pour that shit all over my open wounds. Then she gave me the rest of the bottle for future use, which my friend gladly held onto and took special delight in bringing it to every tournament for the rest of the year.
But hey, I never got an infection so I guess it worked?

my pharm friend tells me that he's had multiple scripts by doctors that would actually kill people outright
As a person working with doctors,
pharm people are the worst don't trust them. They're only like two steps above patients, who are the for-real worst.
(This is probably why I am not going to try to join a profession where I have to deal with people. I am not so good at it.)
Having worked in pharmacy, I'm interested that the perception of incompetence goes both ways. I've known some really dickish and unpleasant pharmacists, but they are usually quite sharp.
I am actually not sure about pharmacists, since I very rarely talk to them. I'm more complaining about the people who end up answering the phone. It is not rare that someone will call saying "Diastat comes in 10 mg only" and we will tell them "No, it's a dial, you have to turn it down to 7.5" or otherwise tell them how to do their job. And then there's stuff like saying "That medicine doesn't exist/isn't out" instead of "we cannot currently get this for your patient," which is just.. weird?
I mean it's certainly not everyone, but yesterday I had to look up a generic name for a medication because the pharmacist, who had the brand name, couldn't find it. I typed it in and the first result was literally a press release from fda.gov about the drug.
Stuff like that gets to you sometimes. Again, it's definitely not like, everyone, but pharmacies can be huge headaches sometimes.
(I was being hyperbolic in my original post though. Most pharmacy people are fine, and patients aren't the for-real worst, insurance companies are.)
On this we can agree.

I love sociology. In hindsight, I wish I had majored in it instead of Japanese in college. No idea what I would have done with it though.
I made a friend into an enemy a few years ago joking about this. She mentioned her sociology major and I very light-heartedly said something like, "so really you majored in nothing," and yeah, I got called some foul shit.

What the fuck, hydrogen peroxide? Why did you have to turn bad without telling anyone?
At school we used H2O2 to learn about enzymes by getting it to produce pure oxygen and then blow test tubes up. People willingly put that on their skin?
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

I think everyone who has ever worked in medicine ever could agree.
I have seen companies stop covering generic anti-seizure medicine from the sixties.
I have had to get prior authorizations for drugs for multiple sclerosis.
I have had insurance companies tell patients that medication is covered when it, in fact, requires a prior authorization that the patient might not meet the criteria for.
They are so bad.

That is called an ear whip. Fun fact: A doctor will puncture an average of eight ear canals learning how to use one.
the studies regarding H2O2 being ineffective to treat wounds at ~30% concentration were done in the mid-90s mostly from what I can tell. The bits on the low % concentration being ineffective are more recent. It's an antiseptic but it damages the body about as much.
Given a ridiculous situation, there's nothing wrong with using H2O2 in small doses to clean wounds, but I wouldn't plan on doing that in any case. It's really good for getting biological stuff off of objects, though.
That sounds like you're misremembering some crucial details.
In plant biology, they use concentrated bleach to sterilize plants - because although it damages the tissues of the plant, the internals and bulk of material is preserved, while surface pathogens (the only place they can be if it's viable) are destroyed. The same logic applies to the human epidermis - infections are single cellular, whereas humans can survive an incredible amount of superficial damage provided the infections don't get into the intracellular skin layers or bloodstream.
So you can't be damaging the human body "just as much". Infections will fucking kill you - you'll heal from a chemical burn provided it's sterile.
I suspect what you're actually remembering is a study which looked at rates of complications, and found milder treatments to be just as effective (i.e. because you don't create more damage areas for an infection to take hold, or because they do indeed clean up the wound). But I'm speculating from first-principles here.
But basically, human bodies don't have hitpoints - there's a world of difference in the nature of damage done.

Ah damn, that is some sensual ear wax removal music.
According to most studies of its effectiveness, not really. Parents and school nurses might insist otherwise, but researchers have found that hydrogen peroxide has little ability to reduce bacteria in wounds and can actually inflame healthy skin cells that surround a cut or a scrape, increasing the amount of time wounds take to heal.
Well, that is some childhood pain that served little purpose.

Yeah, but it's risk reward; do you use this nuke method to surely clean out the wound and also set the healing back a few days, or use a safer antiseptic that'll kill 80% of the bacteria and do no harm to the wound? It's always gonna be the second one, cause damaging the tissue further is never worth cleaning it out.
