Loading ...Thanks for checking in. I’m glad everything went well. Sprains are no fun, I’ve had a few. It seems from what I’m hearing the patients shouldn’t see the operating room in Ortho. You associate those things to mechanical and building or at worse the Chain saw massacre. I still remember seeing my first medical needle at 4 and a grandmother a professional seamstress who started sewing at age 5 was going to break her record and teaching me at age 4 or as far back as I can remember but with big needles to trace patterns. When they told me they were going to use the needle on me, well I never heard of such a thing. I don’t think so. Your supposed to put a bandaid on it don’t you know! I’m outta here. I don’t know who was more upset in the end, me, my parents, or the hospital staff. I remember the doctor trying to explain what he was going to do with the needle but to a adult that would make sense, not a child especially hearing no anesthesia I figured out though my parents I wasn’t supposed to feel the needle sewing me up. In both cases maybe it’s best if they don’t see it. A year later with a country doctor I got stitches up again, This time from a playground sharp object not supposed to be there. The country doctor made all the difference still explained but this time why he had to sew it up, a bandaid wasn’t going to do it and why and how he will numb it so it won’t hurt as much and then will be all better. Piece of cake but he was very gente. From memory I think kids are more afraid of anything invasive they see as life threatened and that pain could kill them including blood loss which theyre right about that.
I’m glad you didn’t read those stories before surgery. Just remember Jesus was a carpenter.
