So this is what happens when you're a nice patient and I actually like you, that I'll actually do this instead of eat lunch. Okay, that's what's— that's how we think. It's my good friend here, had a rough night at the house, little nightmare, and busted his lip. Maybe his wife hit him, I don't know, maybe he fell out of the bed. We're not asking questions here. Okay, we're going to fix this guy up. Okay, very good. Thank you. Thank you, Doctor. Okay, little peroxide is very good for cleaning up little little debris, blood, just kind of— and also just does a good job of just cleaning in general. Yeah, obviously you gotta get the whole inside. Now, of course, he's not feeling this because I anesthetized the lip, so it's all swollen plus the local anesthetic. I'm gonna put one more in here and we'll be done. Good thing is lips— if you guys have ever bitten your lip, which I'm sure most people have And you know that it actually hurts a lot, it bleeds, but it does heal quickly. So in this case, there was a pretty significant laceration. That's why it warranted suturing it. Um, but it'll heal quick. Now the swelling, you know, that can last a few days for sure. No, no weightlifting, nothing like that? Um, yeah, maybe for— yeah, I wouldn't— yeah, because you want to be straining, right? It'll just make it swell more. Okay, so See, it's all fixed up. A little beat up there, but that'll all get better. Okay, so I'm just gonna put a little ointment on there and then we're finito. Survived! Thank you, thank you for giving up your lunch hour. So all done, all fixed up, back to the office now. Get back to work. Thank you, Doctor, you're the best. Let's see, I got 22 minutes to eat. Going to eat right now. Everybody have a great day. Later. Thank you. Bye.
