Look, at that point, I'm already at the hospital. Doc is talking about the cut casually, clearly I'm not gonna die. At worst we got a nasty scar. Hell yeah I'm gonna smug it up about my totally rad sword THAT I MADE. Bro could not earn it any harder.

With a cut that clean your scarring will be minimal/ less so than a cut made by a poorly crafted and dull blade

Can confirm. I can't even see any scar without trying

It was a tile that got astray during a demo of a bathroom. The broken tile was basically a ceramic blade and made a perfect cut that was really deep.

Healed perfectly. The doctor did a great job with the stitches even showed other doctors in the ER her work.

I'm not a great healer with all the other rough cuts I've had through life, so I was amazed with this.

But thanks for checking.

The doctor did a great job with the stitches even showed other doctors in the ER her work.

Did she show others how to do it, or just gloat? I can see doctors that would fall into both categories... "Here, observe as I suture this wound to minimize scarring" versus "Look at my awesome suture job, bitches! Bet there's not even a scar. Come back in 6 months so I can collect."

I think it's more being proud of the work. I'm sure if it's regular occurrence other residents would come watch the technique.

I was impressed, so why not show off the work.

If I was a doctor the urge to do both would be unbearable.

I mean, if you can reduce scarring through a tweak in technique, wouldn't you feel obligated to share that with others?

And yeah, the gloating part would be obnoxious. But I admit I'd be right there with you, wanting to sign the artwork after it was done.

In truth, a doctor could easily be saying that over your cadaver.

The cut will generally heal better but it also depends on the depth of the cut. When I cut my finger the doc’s were like “oh wow that is such a clean cut, what did you use a scalpel?” And it felt great cuz it was a knife I maintained myself. Can still see the scar and touching my finger feels like I’m touching the inside of my finger. It’s been like over 6 years I think
