Nurse
Good to hear me here. Ma'am, I want to know your understanding of wound care.
Patient
This is the first time I am getting a dog bite, so I don't know how to care for the wound.
Nurse
I realize you're in a situation. I will explain in detail to you.

All right.

Patient
Nurse, I have heard about dissolvable stitches. Why can't I get the same?
Nurse
Your question is quite reasonable. I can explain why the non-dissolvable stitches were provided for you.

Patient
All right, I got it.
Nurse

Patient
Sure, Nurse.
Nurse
Now, are you ready to return home?
