Fortier Five

Archer skinned his elbow pretty badly (I don't even remember how it happened now, probably a biking incident) and we had to visit the clinic to get things cleared up after the gauze I'd used actually became imbedded in the scab. It reminded me of rebar in concrete. Unfortunatley the primary care provider was not available at the time of the crisis so we had to settle for a nurse. Clinic report follows:

Operation Rebar Removal

STATUS: COMPLETE

Procedure Details
Gauze was trimmed neatly around the edges, leaving only a small mesh of threads embedded in subject’s right elbow scab.
Threads proved irresistible to subject who (as we know from previous incidents) could not resist tugging at each loose end until all threads were removed.
Triple antibacterialbiotic has been generously applied to affected area.
Subject has declined further application of gauze.

Discharge Instructions
Subject has been instructed to keep affected area from touching anything and causing the triple antibacterialbiotic to rub off on clothing, furniture, etc.

Follow Up Care
Subject has requested evaluation by Dr. Dad when Dr. Dad arrives at the clinic this evening.
