A woman comes in saying she needed stitches for a finger lac. She already cleaned it and put on a bandaid. She called the advice nurse. SENT THE ADVICE NURSE PICTURES. The nurse then talked to a doctor, and ultimately said "you should go to the ER because you need stitches."
This was the smallest laceration ever! It was tiny! So f'ing embarrassing that a doctor and a nurse told her that. I legit said "I'm sorry you got bad advice. So embarrassing." She even showed me the picture she sent the advice nurse. I said...based on that they told you to go to the ER?
I was shocked. i wish I could post the picture. What the F are bandaids for it not to cover minor lacerations?!?!
