I had watched with horror how the deep cut on my friend's head was sealed with a scalp stapler...I do not know it medical name. She had 36 staple pins on her head looking like a silver millipede!
She is on a blood thinner ever since she suffered a stroke three years ago. So the blood was gushing like water from a spring. :scared:
I tried my best to hold on and press down the wound to control it but I got a rakthaabhishekham with ~ 3 liters of her blood, by the time we could rush to the nearest nursing home.
(Un?)Luckily I was wearing a blood red sari and blouse on that day and old ones too. Otherwise people would have got heart attack seeing me drenched in her blood. I had to ditch them both!
Engineering and medicine are blending into one... not just genetic engineering but even mechanical engineering!!!
Joint replacement surgeries are like carpenter's work . Sawing, shaping, drilling, screwing in to fix the new joint etc!!! :fear:
