I was stepping out the back door of my sister's cottage and she
has a water heater right beside the stoop that had a cover on
it made of steel roofing material. I slipped a bit stepping off
the stupid stoop and hit the cut edge of that with my knee..

Funny thing at the hospital.. on that day the full time ER Doctor
had 2 medical residents working with her to learn how things were
done in the ER.. A young man and woman..  I don't think the woman
even wanted to look at the blood, she stayed back and didn't say
anything but the guy, before the ER Doc got there, had a quick look
at my knee and said it didn't look too bad and when the ER Doc
walked in he said I probably didn't even need stitches, just some
butterfly bandages..  She took about 10 seconds looking at the cut
and pretty much threw him out of the room for being an idiot..
