Devin Got A Boo Boo





Devin was surfing and while tumbling in the water his board's fin hit his ankle. The lifeguard told him he definitely needed stitches because it was so deep. So we headed to a ghetto hospital close by. Devin has never gotten stitches and when they told him he was getting staples instead of stitches he was surprised. The doctor was pretty funny...with a pot belly and missing half of his teeth. He told Devin that he would need to go to the doctors in a week to get the staples out. He hinted that if we wanted to, we could pull them out ourselves to save us a trip to the doctors office again. So, as you can see in Devin's right hand, he is holding the staple remover that the doctor gave us to take home. (In his left hand he is holding the stapler that the doctor used...he let us have it too) So in about a week, if it's healed up, I'll be pulling 3 staples out of Devin. CRAZY!

That is so funny. I LOLed. I think if you would have left it alone the scar would be better than what you will get. Classic medical pratice. The guy was practicing on you and it looks like he needs more practice.
I would use tin snips or something to remove those bad boys.

Cardon looked at this and said: "Wait. Stay right here!" Then he looked at it for like a minute in silence and sighed and said: "OH! Poor Devin!" :) I agree. . . POOR DEVIN!
