It's now here. 8^)
Sewing needle caller, if I were stitching up my own wounds, I think pain and infection would be a bigger concern than a scar. With MRSA, flesh-eating bacteria and stuff like that out there, I don’t think sewing up your own wounds is a good idea unless one is in a survival situation and has no other option.
I’ve heard this idea about people frivolously going to the doctor and what a problem it is on this show(and others) before. I don’t like it. Some people may be bored, lonely, want attention, etc. but I don’t think it’s the huge problem they do.
Some of us have chronic illnesses. Some of us are following doctors instructions. For example I had skiin cancer surgery in April and they’re having me go in for a follow-up this month. It probably isn’t necessary, but they told me to. Am I supposed to be like sewing-needle woman, and second-guess them. Sewing needle woman would have probably performed her own skin cancer surgery, since she’s also smart enough to diagnose it. Then there’s the preventative stuff. Since I turned 50, they e been on my case to get a colonoscopy. Those in my age group know what I’m talking about. So far I haven’t, because I don’t want the damn thing, not because I’m worried about what people like sewing needle woman will say about me.
When I broke my shoulder in 2010, I opted not to have surgery, even though they were pushing it. It turned out that my instincts were right, a d I healed without it. Frankly, my biggest concern was the period of helplessness, not being able to bathe, dress, etc. Cost was also a consideration, too, of course.
BTW, I lived in one of the bluest cities in the country for 20 years and NEVER once had a bookseller pass judgement on my reading choices. Nor a librarian. Always polite, no matter what they may have really thought. (And some if these Indy stores, judging by who they have in to read, causes they support, etc. are obviously very left wing. I think Elliott Bay has joined the mayors idiotic group of businesses who won’t honor the concealed carry laws in WA and see no problem in advertising it. Don’t get me started on that). I’m not saying it doesn’t happen. I just have never experienced it.
