[quote=Anonymous]My 4yo had to get stitches in his hand two months ago and it was pretty bad. They wrapped his lower body and the uninvolved arm up in a sheet, then one person held his legs and another person held his arm in place so they could do the stitches. He screamed and cried a lot even after they had numbed him because he was scared. It sucked, but he needed the stitches. He was fine after it was over. FWIW, he later had to have surgery because it turned out he had cut a tendon, and it was no picnic when he came out of the anesthesia either. But again, he's fine, I don't think it emotionally scarred him or anything. The during part is not fun, but it's just like anything where you have to weigh the immediate discomfort against the greater good.[/quote]
