October 17, 2005, Vanderbilt University Hospital - Danny Oliver removing
the stitches.
Almost all the
small fixtures in medicine are disposable these
days, so they gave
me the tweezers and scissors. I needed a good set of
tweezers,
so this makes the whole ordeal worthwhile.
When Danny removed the stitches form the long incision on the
lower
front of my leg, at one point he pulled a stitch loose, and a stream of clear
fluid shot out of the hole. He just said "hmmmm," and didn't
elaborate.
