I have never had to sew myself up, but I have sewn up other people, and cattle, horses, dogs, and pigs. I have removed hundreds of stitches from people and animals. I have delivered exactly three human babies, and a lot of critters. I have given shots to animals, and a few people. I have also shot a few people, but I wouldn't recommend it as a regular thing.
One of our neighbors got stepped on by a horse, and broke some bones in her foot. One of the bones came through the skin on the top of her foot. Not being the sharpest tack in the box, she didn't go to a doctor, or even the emergency room. She didn't have insurance, or any money. So, she just ignored it until it got nice and infected, and started to stink. She learned that smoking pot, 24/7 will not prevent infection.
Finally she stopped by our house and asked my wife to take a look at it. My wife has a big soft heart, and will never turn anyone away even if they can't pay. Long story short, I got to sit on her on the kitchen floor. While my wife debrided the wound and pulled out the splinter of bone. And then clean it once a day for the next week, until it turned pink and began to heal.
Note: If you have someone pinch and twist their ear lobe, people won't even notice the little tingle when you are sewing them up.
Nothing unusual, just the normal stuff that comes up.
