Does this need stitches

[OwlFC]

He's hit himself with a golf ball that ricocheted off the garage wall (he has a simulator)

He says no stitches

I think yes

Yes without a doubt

Definitely!

Or glue maybe?

I would argue it needs closing up properly if he doesn't want to be left with a scar.

It needs hospital for sure. Glue or stitches

Of course it does!

Yes

At the very least glue or something. Definitely needs looking at and sooner rather than later. If you leave it too long it can be harder to fix and scar more.

You can get those little little Steri-Strips to close the wound.

Defo

Hmm maybe sterinstrios?

He needs checking at A&E. It's a head injury of considerable force and he needs at the very least steristrips or glue.

Ok. Ive forced him!

I would think that would be steristrips not stitches. He may find that reassuring if you tell him.

Glad you’ve persuaded him to go OP. I can’t see steristrips holding that.

Ouch! Glad you managed to convince him. It’s definitely a wound that needs medical attention.

Here in minor injuries (only ones here!)

Glad we came as when he was filling out the form to check in, he wrote down a postcode from 15 years ago! So he's clearly not 100%

Don’t let him bottle out if there’s a massive queue at A&E, the golf ball has clearly hit him with a lot of force and he needs a proper head injury evaluation as well as patching up. Well done for pushing him to go!

Not a single person here! It's just a minor injuries place in the hospital 8 miles down the road so clearly we have come at a good time

Glued back together and steri stripped! They couldn't stitch it as the edges are too tattered and wouldn't work

Home now having a mint tea!
