"Extending from her

the lac was seven
centimeters long.

00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:13.780 align:middle line:84%
She told me that she
slipped and struck her face

00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:16.270 align:middle line:90%
against the kitchen floor.

00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:20.380 align:middle line:84%
The floor was wet because
she had been mopping it.

00:00:20.380 --> 00:00:22.780 align:middle line:84%
I guess she'd had to
wait for many hours

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:25.750 align:middle line:84%
since the clock read
nearly midnight.

00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:28.420 align:middle line:90%
Who mops floors so late?

Her little girl kept
screaming in her husband's

time to ask when we'd be done.

I infiltrated first
with lidocaine.

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.970 align:middle line:84%
She barely winced
and didn't start

00:00:45.970 --> 00:00:48.640 align:middle line:84%
to cry until the
16th stitch went in

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.700 align:middle line:90%
and we were almost through.

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:55.360 align:middle line:84%
I thought my handiwork
was admirable.

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:58.240 align:middle line:84%
I yawned, then offered
her instructions

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.550 align:middle line:90%
on the care of wounds.
