As a reminder to all of us, remember to clean the cut thoroughly then put a clean dressing on it with pressure to the bleeding for TWENTY minutes. Do not release the pressure. If you do, start all over again. Also, instead of using the Emergency Department, try the clinics that are located around. Nurse Practitioners and Med Doc's do stitching in these clinics. Only problem they are not found every where and are not available to those who work at night. Most insurance coverage prefers this and they are less expensive. Less waiting time.
