[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 481127, member: 1514"] Clinic makes me not so surprised. They dont call them docs in the box for nothing. I hate those places. But honestly, sometimes they cant stitch either. A few years ago Cory was doing an incredibly stupid thing in the kitchen with a very sharp knife. He was attempting to break apart frozen meat at the kitchen sink with that knife. It slipped and went straight through the palm of his hand. Straight through. He had pulled it out and blood was everywhere and he was screaming when he came running into my room with blood spurting out of his hand. He turned on the water in my bathroom sink and ran the water over it while I grabbed old towels to wrap around it and called 911 because I didnt have a car at the time. What made it really bad was that the ambulance claimed they couldnt find my house and it took them over an hour and a half to get here and it was pouring down rain. He was sitting out in the rain for the last 45 minutes of that out at the end of our driveway by the main road to guide them back to our house. Idiots. Some of my friends thought I was a heartless mother because I didnt go with him to the hospital to handle this accident but he was over 20 so he already had Keyana and I felt he needed to learn to deal with accidents on his own plus without a car I didnt know how we would get two of us home. I figured he could call one of his friends to come get him and I was right. They didnt stitch him, they numbed him up really well, washed it out with syringes, then just taped it up after making sure he didnt cut any tendons or nick any bones. He was also wrapped up well. Given strong antibiotics and lectures about using knives appropriately. LOL. [/QUOTE]
