I decided after 34 glowing years on this earth that I wanted to slice my finger and get stitches. Ha! Not really a decision I came to, but rather an accident due to my failure to pay attention to what I was doing. I have some super sharp knives. All I did was run my hand across my countertop and I felt a sharp pain in my finger. ( I failed to see the knife lying on the countertop.) I looked down and saw that I cut my finger tip completely off from the nail.
One would think my reaction would have been to scream loudly, but I was kinda nauseous looking at it. Anywho I applied some pressure to my wound and made my way to medworks. The receptionist whisked me away to see a Dr. While sitting in the chair waiting to be stitched up I chatted with the Dr. that would be handling me. She was a very nice lady, but after a few mins I started to notice that this Dr. kept fumbling around quite a bit.
The Dr. was going through all the cabinets repeatedly & couldn't find what she was looking for. She even gloved up at least 3 times only to remove the gloves to look for something she needed for my procedure. I thought to myself "Damn I might be losing my fingertip today!" It turns out lady who sat me in the room was supposed to prepare things for the Dr. but didn't. After everything was situated the procedure started. I received about 9 stitches in my finger which hurt like a B*tch. The Dr. was very comforting every time I groaned from the shots. Next came the stitches.
This is where I got to see just how talented this Dr. is. She stitched through my fingernail and the sutures looked awesome I must say. I was totally expecting her to have to remove my fingernail, and I didn't want to go through that.
The discharge and follow up appointments were a breeze. The medical assistant who helped me was so awesome. I totally fed off of her amazing personality. If I ever had another accident (knock on wood, plastic, stainless steel, titanium) I would definitely come back to medworks. If I don't die or something lol! #Morbid
That's all folks!! read more
