Yes, the evil Dr. Korruptyna never uses gauze or surgical thread. She prefers bright prints or lace (depending on the condition) and Aurofil variegated thread to bind those wounds! Actually, the doctor isn't a doctor. She's a nurse practitioner and I really, really like her a lot. When we first moved here after the flood I felt like I was having a heart attack every 10 minutes. My old doctor was gone, too. I looked up doctors who were nearby on the web and found them - they're a block away. She saw me and when I told her everything that was going on, she looked at me and said, "You need a hug." Need I say more?
