I have no idea what ff just said..
What ever pain killers ff is on I want some too because now I'm up at 3am.
A loop stich is where they draw the whole gaping wound up like a lasso underneath and tie it together before they suture the surface together. I had never heard of it before either.
And yes, I would have had a medevac plane ride and all the bills if I had gone to the EMT before they quit flying at night. I have landed after dark once, but FAA can cause you trouble for flying after dark so it generally doesn't happen.
Without a twin prop plane and navigation equipment you don't fly in Southeast Alaska after dark or in IFR. The clouds have rocks in them.
Pain killers- I got some ibuprophen 800's from a friend. Really I got all kinds, 200's, 400's, red ones, green jellies, bizmarks, white ones, etc. I'm an ibuprophen conniseur. 800's are what does the trick.
