What's the problem ?   I have a laceration on my left forearm .   Let me have a look . How did this happen ?   I got hit by a car in an accident .   Was there much bleeding afterward ?   No , not much .   Well , this doesn't look too serious . Nurse , could you please get me a suture set ?   Will I need stitches ?   Yes . Three , I think . It wont ' be too painful . Alright , we're done . That wasn't so bad , was it ?   No , not really .   You're lucky there was no lasting damage . I'll set up an appointment for you to come back in five days . We'll take those stitches out then . So long .   Thank you , doctor . Bye .
