Snitches Get Stitches

As do open-heart surgery patients.   I had hoped there would not be a lot of stitches to sbio and remove but the foot long chest scar is stitched, as is the pacemaker implant and the lower leg from where the vein for the graft came.  Taking out one or two stitches hurts a little, but the foot Kong is going to be a lot of stitches.   Perhaps they can use a typical anesthetic?
