From UPI.com (August 3):
SUNDSVALL, Sweden, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- A Swedish man said hospital workers reported him to police after he got tired of waiting for treatment and stitched his own leg wound. [read more]The article said the guy waited over an hour. I wouldn't call that being impatient as the headline says. The hospital set out needle and thread (the hospital didn't use cat gut or something other than thread?) so the patient decided to do his own suturing. That must of hurt. Then the hospital reported him to the authorities for "unauthorized suturing."
I wonder if the guy goes back to the hospital if he has another cut or any other medical emergency? I would think twice about it. I mean if you have to sew up your own wound and get in trouble for doing that who needs the hassle. You could stay home and do your own suturing.
Two words: Obamacare anyone?
