The vigorous comber

February 11, 2008

ER Stories: “Somehow this guy lacerated his scalp with the comb. Not just a small cut but he literally opened up a giant flap that was between 4 and 5 inches long! It was gushing blood when the EMT’s arrived, who stanuched the flow with about 10 Kerlix’s. It required a deep layer of sutures and about 15 more in the skin to properly close it.”
