Did you ever need stitches?

Only during surgery or my adult life. Surgery because I had my tonsils removed when I was 11 or 12. In my adult life because of an accident with a Hepa filter where my finger was sliced open bythe sharp metal on the top of the filter. (These filters were used at Signetics and measured about 6 to 8 feet long, three feet wide and tow to three feet tall. We were pulling one on a dolly and the other tech started to pull before I was ready and I had my finger in one of the holes on the filter itself where the metal was cut with holes to allow air passage. It laid my finger completely open and as I think about it now that was the same finger that later got broken and now has a wart under the finger nail.
