Wow, clean and deep. Not so sure about those staples. I realize that they are the current technology, but I guess in a situation like this, I am like Pete...Keep it original and give me some old fashioned stitches. Looks like those suckers could get caught on something and rip out. Yuck. Anyway, hope your feeling ok and back on the job....that was a nasty cut.

Damnn Eric, that's some serious slashing!
Don't particularly like the staples either, but they also used it on my wrist when I got my surgery...

I have always preferred the stitches, saves a trip to the doc. Easy to remove yourself.

well for some reason the doc came in and said we gotta use staples on this one, probably quicker, but being by the knee bending down all week has been a beoch. tommorow ill clean up the needle noses and pull em, we'll see how that goes, my biggest worry is if they go in and hook like a fish hook,,,really though im preparing them by wiggling them back and forth to loosen them for tommorow

I am a big fan of pulling my own stitches but they have a cool tool that pops those staples off painlessly. If you have to cut the crowns I could see another trip to Urgent care to fix the damage. I would not remove them any earlier than advised, hate to have it open up again and start over. (sorry, sometimes the former paramedic in me spouts off). It is an impressive cut.
For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Eric,
Maybe you should consider removing them later in the PM (this Friday??) so they may not hurt as much???

Nice job Eric.

I had a bunch of those staples when I busted myself up back in 2002. Also had my jaw wired shut. I don't remember the thought of removing those staples myself crossing my mind. However, I did remove the wires they had through my jaw to keep it shut. I couldn't wait two more days to go back to the oral surgeon, I had to get those wires out of my mouth! I gathered up some hemostats, wire cutters, needle nose pliers and a mirror and went to work. Six weeks with no real food and not being able to talk will drive you crazy! I still remember how good that first bite of meat tasted...

That tool they use to remove those staples is pretty slick. I would wait for that tool if I were you... right tool for the job

to kill one bird with one stone I had the Doc take a look at my member while she was stapling me up, it had a red ring around it and another funny looking brown ring around it, after some tests she came back into the room with the usual "I have some good news and I have some bad news, first the good news, the "red ring" it's just plain lipstick.
So whats the bad news Doc? "the brown ring"......its Skoal
