What a headache....

Logan has quite a headache as running full blast into a door should cause. He and Mason were running through the house (and yes they all have been told not to run in the house) when he ran into the door. He got quite the nasty cut, not long but fairly deep. We tried trimming his hair back some to put some butterfly bandages on it but it just wouldn't hold. So off we went to Lifeline Multi Specialty Hospital to have him checked out. The hospital looked very nice from the outside. The emergency room, in which your shoes had to be removed before entering, consisted of about 4 beds and various medical equipment. They say they are a facility for trauma and cardiac care...lets just hope we have no need for more treatment. It just looks so different that the ER in the US. I suspect the rooms here in India are like the US rooms in the 1950's-1960's. The doctor looked at Logan and asked us to leave the room and we said we would not leave him alone. We kept asking if they could use surgical glue, not sutures and he replied yes. It was quite obvious when the suture kit came out that:
-didn't understand what I meant when I requested surgical glue
- he didn't have surgical glue
-thought the cut was too deep or not a good location for surgical glue

Logan had already been given an analgesic for the pain so at this point we let the doctor continue with the sutures...much to Logan's dismay. Logan was pretty ticked off at the doctor! So Logan 2 stitches later is feeling much better and headed back to school today. Now my shopping list for medical supplies consists of tongue depressors, surgical glue and more butterfly bandages!
