Stitches

Oh, dear. Sounds like you had a particularly bad day that day. I'm very sorry if I sounded at all flippant. BTW, you'll never get those tricky little knots undone with your bare hands, especially if you've numbed them with ice first!

Do you have a General Practicioner? A local doctor or nurse could remove them without having to go to hospital?

I had a small growth removed from just above my eye, which had stitches. I went back to the hospital to have them removed only for a very grumpy nurse snap at me, 'Why didn't you go to your doctor, to have these removed?'
I just sat there meekly saying, 'I didn't know I had the option'.
Perhaps she'd had a bad day.

I had metal stitches (well staples really I suppose) when i had a hip operation a few years ago
Great fun when the nurse came to snip them in the middle then pull both ends out
Quite painful

You didnt sound flippant. If I'm honest I think I need a pro to do it, though it literally looked like a case of cutting a know and pulling them out slowly with some tweezers Yeah cant say it was my finest hour oh well he's up for attempted murder by the looks of it

Needs to be more Rambo than that. It sounds like he needs to cut the stitches out.
