yes, they used some adhesive stiches as opposed to the old needle and thread. spent an hour in the waiting room losing blood, they were concerned about me leaking on the reception desk at one point. only because the cleaner had finished for the day.
One time i was tiling a bathroom for a mate when i was cutting the hard plastic tile trim.
i was using a silver stanley knife with gold coloured large scre in middle that you unscrew to set blade depth ,the knife is angled and comes in a yellow plastic holder.Anyway as i cut the plastic the knife slipped offf and embedded itself in my leg above my right knee.I thought i was ok until 10 minutes later my jeans were soaked in blood.
needed to go and get a stitch in it to hold it together .went camping next to ben nevis a few days later .
my then gf took good care of me .
