A GP rather than a university hospital should suffice for a minor cut no?
@Ian Moloney: do Irish GPs do anything but send you somewhere else to get the hands on work done?
@Ian Moloney: a slash is not a minor cut, a slash is a slash
@Dave O Keeffe: a slash indicates surgical work Dave?
@Dave O Keeffe: no.
@j lad: I made no comment about the size of the wound or the amount of work required
@Ele Flynn: it said a minor injury from a blade. A quick stitch or 12 hours in a+e?
@Ian Moloney: so why suggest going to a GP then?
@Dave O Keeffe: tetanus booster. Difficult to stich self additionally. Especially if cut on hand or face.
@Ian Moloney: you’ve even lost your own point now.
@Ele Flynn: unless its a piss
Them gardai in Kevin st must be the pride of the force. They have already figured out you need a knife to slash someone
@Colm Ó Liatháin: In fact you don’t
@Colm Ó Liatháin: a sword?
That’s a big knife
@Colm Ó Liatháin: a hook, anything sharp, a sale sign for slashing prices
Spell pedantic. Cheer up buttercup
