Well bloggers, I was on call last night and we had an unusal case of multiple neck lacerations = 21 in total wtih a cumulative length of 49 cm. The third year medical student on call was "amazed" that such a wound could be self-inflicted. We spent time in the OR doing the appropriate exploration of a zone 2 neck wound and then multi-layered repair. It is always refreshing to realize that what we do as surgeons can be viewed as amazing by those who do not regularly deal with the challenges of the surgical area. JTE.
