The first few stitches broke at the knot and slipped right out, believe me I've tested the others with a pair of tweezers and no dice.....
I'm a retired Paramedic so I have some familiarity with what should be happening and that's why I've asked Dr. Arnkoff, they may need to be clipped on one side and pulled out but I'm not going to do that without his thoughts on the issue. I do however appreciate your concern, suggestion and I'll let you guys know what he says about the remaining stitches.
