EMERGENCY FIRST AID: How To Give Yourself Stitches (Sutures)

TheCousinDan shows you how to give yourself stitches after an injury. No need to go to an expensive Emergency department if you can follow correct procedures, handle a bit of pain, and your wound isn’t too bad.

The Squirrel says: I have purchased suture kits at gun shows. (And from Dave at getemergencyready.com) They look way less scarring than Dan’s fishing line and sewing needle kit! Also remember, that taking stitches out can be difficult and painful. You may want to ask a friend! Also remember that for small wounds, in an emergency, Crazy Glue can be your friend.

AND YES, OF COURSE YOU SHOULD GO AND GET A PROFESSIONAL TO DO IT.
