Man, last time I had to get a tetnis shot because I gashed myself open, I stood around doing nothing with nothing to watch and nothing to surf until my head stopped bleeding. Then they decided I had to be stitched up anyway, despite having stopped bleeding.

 

I should find a hospital that doesn't suck.

How long did it take to see a doc?

 

Last summer my now ex had an abscess in her throat. She needed surgery in the end, but it took 8 hours before an actual doctor saw her.

 

Was this caused by a piece of metal?

How long were you with that girl? You're taking this really well. I mean that as a compliment.

 

At the time 4 months. She spent her 4th of July in the hospital. Overall a year and a half. I felt stuck from the beginning, but it was never bad enough (till just now) to call it off

 

And it was just a random infection it seemed. it came back later but didn't need surgery the 2nd time around

Not sure exactly how long it took me - it was about 5 or 6 when I split my head on a metal shelf, I went right from work to the hospital, and I didn't get out of there until, like, 11-12ish? One guy who wasn't a doctor saw me before that and said I prolly didn't need stitches, then a doctor showed up and said that I did.

I sewed up a buddy of mine once. I've given myself a couple stitches, too.

 

Medicine is a hobby of mine.

 

"Nate, seriously, you've got to sit still."

 

"Dude this is fucked up, maybe I should go to the hospital."

 

"You've been doing coke for the past nine hours, man, you want to go to jail? Quit being a pussy."

it took 4hrs just to get a shot. At one point I pulled a roaming doc aside and said "All I need is a shot, can ya just come out here with the needle and stick me so I can go home already?", the bastard wouldn't do it.

So wait, this guy was doing coke for 9 hours....and then you tried to make him sit still? Sounds to me like that'd almost be harder then the actual stitching.

 

I was trying to convey exasperation in my tone there when telling his dumb ass to sit still. The wound was in his thigh, and caused by a knife. He ended up ok.
