Suture

I would love to learn more about sutures also. The only advice I was given was to practice on meat in the kitchen, like chickens.

Hopefully with this thread we'll get some good info from other members.

I'm not sure super glue would have worked on my cut since it was a gusher. It squirted with the beat of my heart.

I did find this kit and video / e book instructions but who knows if it's a scam with cheap tools or not? I don't trust the internet much when it comes to things like this... https://www.theapprenticedoctor.com...MIxfvM5LSA2gIVXbXACh39KAtlEAAYAiAAEgLWt_D_BwE

Holy Cow! Yep, not the best idea for your particular injury. Geeze...

I was thinking superglue as well. But then I guess it depends on how deep the cut is?

I haven't looked into it, but maybe the book "When There Is No Doctor" might have some good info?

OK, I hope this works. Every homesteader or parent NEEDS these! If the link doesn't work, Google ClozeX.

Click on the blue word ClozeX in the link to see how it works. Sooo much easier than learning to suture!

Yeah... If it we're just a little cut I would have just wiped it off and continued working. But this was a deep gusher kind of cut.

I have expires medical sutures I picked up at a gun show. Ive had to use them on chickens a few times so have a little practice. So if I had to, I could sew myself up.

With our situation though, I'd just go show up at the base hospital emergency room. They'd have me done and out of there fairly quick and it doesn't cost us anymore than we already pay for medical. That's only because it's not open to the public unless an ambulance brings them. They also have the ability to punish if you're abusing the system because it's not public. Do not even think about taking your kid into the ER because they have a cold.
