When I was 20, out of the blue, I started having seizures. (Epilepsy which stopped as bizarrely as it started) On one occasion I hit my head on a door frame as I fell and split my face open which led to me getting nine stitches in my face. I was freaking out "I'm going to look like Frankenstein's sister!!" and (because it was my face, the doctor got a nurse from the childrens ward - apparently because she was the best and neatest at stitches not because she was used to small children who created a massive fuss lol although I suspect it might have been the latter. I thought it was really lovely they did that either way. I barely have any sign of the scar now 😊

@SW-User I guess that was a downside of NHS, in my ER, I would never suture facial injuries, particularly on females, I would demand plastic surgery, and then, not an inexperienced resident.

@samueltyler2 It's a down side I suppose but free for everyone so can't complain and the nurse did a brilliant job. They never get the recognition they deserve.
