There are many ways that medical students learn their clinical skills. Shots and IV cannulae are practiced on models to begin with, and once the basics are mastered we can begin to sharpen our skills on really people.

Stitches are learned in theory, and then on models or on pieces of meat (pigs feet from the butchers being a favourite) before moving on to real patients!

what is stitches?

Stitches are a common medical procedure used to close wounds and cuts. They involve using a needle and thread to sew the edges of the wound together, which helps the skin heal and prevents infection. There are several types of stitches, including running stitches, lock stitches, and interrupted stitches. The type of stitch used will depend on the location and severity of the wound.
