Yesterday (after the clinic was closed) a lady and man came over to Steve’s house, needing some medical attention. The lady had a very bad cut on her shin that was about 3 inches across and pretty deep. They claimed that she had fallen onto a rock…
 |
| Ugh… looked like it hurt pretty bad! |
 |
Thea took the job of stitching it closed.
After cleaning it out, she began the tedious work. |
 |
| She started by numbing the area with local anesthesia. |
 |
Then she went to work!
After a few stitches, she noticed something was wrong with her needle…
The lady’s skin was so thick and leathery, the needle had bent!! |
 |
After about 30 minutes of painstaking work, it was all finished up!
Good job Thea… |
 |
After closing the wound up, the general area needed to be cleaned and
have a bandage put over it. |
