People are weird. I got stitches one time and as I’m leaving, they tell me to come back in two weeks or go to my PCP to get them removed. Huh? Just wash them, cut them, and yank em out of there!

I had a dog that got an ingrown dew claw (extra claw about halfway up her hind leg that I didn’t know she had) grew around in a circle and poked back in and made a little cut in her leg. I told a girl at work about it and she asked some question that assumed I took her to the vet to get it taken care of. I probably looked at her like she had two heads. If I took her to the vet, he’d get a pair of heavy duty nail clippers and cut it, clean it, probably bandage it, and give her a prescription for antibiotics (which helps HIM, not me, so I don’t sue him if it gets infected). Whereas, I took some heavy duty nail clippers and cut the thing, and washed off the site. Like I said, people are weird.

Youtube shows how one can remove surgical staples with nippers and a needle nose pliers. No thanks. The special tool to remove the staples was $7 including shipping on line. The gas to drive to the docs office would have been more. Swabbed the area with alcohol and let it dry ... out they came!
