Running through the kitchen, tripped, rammed his head into the corner of the wall....
I showed this picture to 3 of my RN friends, they all agreed that he needed stitches. I took him to Children's urgent care. They explained that they don't do stitches in the urgent care, but they offered to have a nurse take a look to see if it actually needed stitches or not. She looked and right away said, "Sorry, Mom. Yes, he needs stitches." And they sent us on to the ER.
The nurse in the ER gave him Tylenol and made sure he was extra comfy. He enjoyed some apple juice while watching Animal Planet. Everyone that encountered Tysen thought he was a really cool kid.
The resident physician saw Tysen first. He said it wasn't too bad, but he would like to put 2 stitches in. First the attending physician had to see him. So we waited at least another hour. Finally he came in, took a quick look, and said, "Let's put Neosporin on it and you can go home!" So finally at 2am we got home. That was an expensive dose of OTC antibiotic ointment.
