I need seven stitches and I found the doctor on staff, the nurse practitioner in training and both admin nurses that were there to be fantastic. They got me in and out and had a sense of humor about the whole thing. Great facility, great service, great people thank you.   Update 8-28 Wednesday.  I learned from a hand surgeon friend of mine that I severed a tendon in my thumb.  He ran me through a range of motions that I could not perform.  My ER doctor was awesome please don’t take this as critical of him but rather as helpful knowledge for future.  My ER doctor did ask me how my range of motion was and I really didn’t think it was bad considering what I had done.  I wish he had challenged me more on specific range of motion exercises because I had no knowledge of the intricate motions I could not perform or the tendon that runs in the area i cut.  Turns out my doctor hand surgeon friend in Indiana got me in for surgical repair of my extensor pollicis longus tendon tomorrow.  He also indicated there’s a 7-10 day optimal window and anything longer than that makes it difficult to repair.  At the end of the day I learned something new and I hope this helps Premier as I’m a fan of Premier Medical and your mission.  Had I been stuck with limited mobility for life I would have adjusted to that I’m sure.  Not the end of the world by any means so I feel my perspective is aligned and I want the young ER doctor to know to challenge his patients a little bit more.  We might belly ache and grumble like little kids but you are smarter than most of us obviously by your educational experiences in this field so please save us from our uneducated selves and run us through the gauntlet so we can make a better informed decision to live with a crooked thumb or not.  I will be better as a result of this experience as well.  I could have been more present when the young ER Dr asked me how my range of motion seemed.  And please make no mistake, I would trust the same young ER doctor to stitch me up again any day.  He was a solid professional and was busting his rear end to care for the patients that day.  Keep that young man around he’s a good one.  And please accept my apology for referring to him as the young ER dr.  I’m horrible with names.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
