my daughter sliced her hand all the way across her palm on the lid of a can, when she went to the hospital she was scared and crying, she didn't want stitches, but she would if they had to. instead they put dera bond on it , and sent her home , no tetanus shot. the next morning I went to work, my daughter was calling complaining her hand was hurting, i told her to take some aspirin and i would be home soon. by the time I got home the pain had gotten so bad my inlaws had taken her to her clinic. the doctor was making statements like" why wouldn't they of put stitches in this". "why no tetanus shot". her hand smelt bad, it was infected. they were talking about doing some emerg. surgery or something, she had to go see a specialist 3 times that week. thank god we caught it when we did.
