What is ironic, is the last 2 times I have gotten stitches I waited in the waiting room for 3 hours, waiting room to be seen. When the stitching process began they gave me a shot of pain killer in the stitch area. They were in such a hurry they did not wait for the pain killer to take effect. I was reaching for my belt both times. My we have come a long way!
