Head wounds bleed profusely. You do go to a walk in clinic "out of precaution" Autumn Mar 2019 #170
That's true... lots of blood vessels in the old noggin'!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #231
The belief that one must faint or slip and fall to get a head injury requiring stitches is silly. Autumn Mar 2019 #248
Head wounds bleed profusely mcar Mar 2019 #254
They did admit he got injured, that's why the 7 stitches. Your problem is with the shitty Autumn Mar 2019 #258
I wonder if the doctor advised him to rest. lapucelle Mar 2019 #264

How exactly would they determine where to put the "precautionary stitches"? lapucelle Mar 2019 #185
Who said he received "precautionary stitches"? It's not in any article. Just a few people Autumn Mar 2019 #280
This guy... lapucelle Mar 2019 #282
"How exactly would they determine where to put the "precautionary stitches"?" You asked. Autumn Mar 2019 #284
I don't understand why any head injury requiring stitches would be treated at a walk-in clinic. lapucelle Mar 2019 #290
Anyone with a head wound would go to a walk in clinic or an ER if they are in another state. Autumn Mar 2019 #299
I would think that a local walk in would refer him to a local hospital emergency room. lapucelle Mar 2019 #300
No they don't always refer you to an ER. If you have an injury they treat you and determine Autumn Mar 2019 #303
Actually, if there was any chance you were knocked out R B Garr Mar 2019 #313
You don't know that he slipped and fell or that he was knocked out. If he did Autumn Mar 2019 #314
Who said he had brain injuries. This is why you keep R B Garr Mar 2019 #315
I'm not the one fabricating the idea that he slipped and fell and was knocked out.You are. Autumn Mar 2019 #316
You are fabricating that he didn't, so it's the same thing. R B Garr Mar 2019 #317
His story never changed, it's right there in both articles. You just don't accept it. nt Autumn Mar 2019 #318
Again, for the last time His story has not changed. Both articles state he did not slip and fall. Autumn Mar 2019 #319
Before they passed, my mom and dad lived in nursing homes. MoonRiver Mar 2019 #177
And most of those places have grab bars. True Blue American Mar 2019 #223

I didn't know Alex Jones was on DU, cause the conspiracy theories are flying. vsrazdem Mar 2019 #178
I've never heard of "precautionary stitches". Is that something new? lapucelle Mar 2019 #182
Actually, it's something made up. DLevine Mar 2019 #187
"Precautionary stitches" is not used in the articles. Several people are using that phrase. Autumn Mar 2019 #210
It's coming from shit-stirrers who want to divide us. DLevine Mar 2019 #212
NOT a Bernie-fan, but this is just as ridiculous as when it was done to Hillary. SaveOurDemocracy Mar 2019 #186

Slip-and-falls happen to everyone. I've had my share. backscatter712 Mar 2019 #217
I think he would have sustained other injuries if he fell at his age. RandySF Mar 2019 #219
Precisely!! The fact that Bernie didn't suffer worse injuries PROVES he's in phenomenal shape InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #236
It "proves" nothing of the sort. We only know what they tell us... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #238
So then, why is Bernie out-campaigning ALL of his fellow Democrats?! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #243
The answer is: he's not. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #244
You're just not paying close enough attention... and that's why Bernie is winning!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #245
LOL! NurseJackie Mar 2019 #246

It's not about what I believe, it's about what's true. You can't have it both ways. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #259

No... thank YOU for proving MINE! NurseJackie Mar 2019 #270

Exactly right!! Somebody else who gets it!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #257
The photos bear out the fact that he suffered a head wound that's being covered up... lapucelle Mar 2019 #275
LOL!! Yes, Bernie's head wound IS being covered up... it's called a "bandage"!! haha!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #279
So, it is true lapucelle Mar 2019 #281
YESSSSS!! Go with it!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #293
Can't cover up this massive swelling. His eye is swollen shut, like a boxer. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #335
The two things are unrelated. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #255
Thank you. Tipperary Mar 2019 #312
If he hit his head, the rest of his is irrelevant. RandySF Mar 2019 #239
Not necessarily. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #241

It was visible in those photos (the HD ones)... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #272
Thanks, NJ. I'm on an iPhone and couldn't see it. nt R B Garr Mar 2019 #278

He was looking for his tax returns.... Adrahil Mar 2019 #307
Or... He fainted when Jane said "Found them! Here they are!" NurseJackie Mar 2019 #360
That eye looks puffy too. No surprise with that kind of injury. Tipperary Mar 2019 #309
This will help Bernie delay his tax returns. Very clever. redstateblues Mar 2019 #311
