Good thing he didn’t need brain surgery.
How dare he! </sarc>
Talk about "ouch" factor...
Why didn’t he just use super glue?
socialized medicine at its finest.
But, hey!
It was “free!”
“But hospital staff were not as impressed by his initiative and have reported the man on suspicion of arbitrary conduct for having used hospital equipment without authorization.”
Arrogant pr..ks. Had they been at work like they were supposed to, he wouldn’t had to touch their precious little things.
My son cut above his eye falling off one of those kid-tosser merry-go-rounds at the park. He was bleeding a lot, so I took him to the ER. After about an hour I thot — heck with this. As I was leaving, they got all panicky, but I was not to be stopped. Took him to his doctor’s and they stitched it up just fine.
Aside from the very real horror of socialized medicine, swedes can be one tough people!! I’m not at all surprised that he sewed his own leg up.
My grandmother was from Sweden and in her 90’s, deaf and almost blind, she removed her own stitches from cut she got on her nose when she tripped and fell. She stated that she didn’t need a doctor for a little thing like that.
My dad, 90 at the time, needed hernia surgery & had to go off his blood thinning pills & required daily injections for a week after surgery. So my husband & I follow Dr.’s orders and go with my father to a visit before surgery so we could learn how to give my father an injection (in his stomach!!). Well, he fussed & said he didn’t need anyone’s help & the Dr. was wasting our time.
Which was the truth.
First day we had to give him the injection, we ask if he’d be more comfortable with me or m husband giving him his shot he says “Never mind, I already did it. Told you I didn’t need any help.” So he gave himself his own shots.
(I know I could never do that, not enough Swedish blood, I guess)
What’s with all the homosexual stories at that website?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
It took 4 hours to get 4 stitches in my left hand a couple of years ago - if they’d given me the needle, I could have done it myself.
Coming to an emergency room near you!
Dang, reminds me of Rambo...
