Sorry Facebook...

Thursday night I was on call. I made a fascicious statement on facebook about being on-call and available to stitch up faces if necessary. I shouldn't have been so flippant with the facebook gods...

I ended up in the ER from about 12:30 am-5:00 am, sewing up the face of a man who fell off his bike into a patch of gravel. He broke his nose, lacerated his upper lip, and completely split his lower lip in two. The inside of his mouth was like hamburger meat with gravel mixed in. Poor guy. For being my first facial laceration (we call them lacs), I got quite a bit of practice!

It will be interesting to see what his scars look like next week.
