Didn't do that with mine, toshed another bandage on it and sent me off until Monday for plastics out patients.
Then again mine was probably a 3rd the size of William's cut and on the fingertip.
Had to lazer lumps out of it so it would stitch back together.
Silly beggar William, should have had more anaesthetic.
Bleedin multiple injections of that going in, hurts worse than when you split it open with a cut or crush, I can tell you.
Dappy Doctors 'Is that still hurting?'
'Nah, the writhing around and go OFFS!! is normal.
