Non-emergency medical resources at DW?

[jtw3549]

Hi everybody, I hope this is a good forum for this question...

Me, DW and DD(4) are going to the World next week. DD's first trip!

DD took a bit of a spill today and now has a couple of medical staples on the back of her head helping to close a nasty wound. She's been given a good clean bill of health, but we we're told we need to have the staples removed in 7 days...right in the middle of our trip.

I have absolutely no idea what resources are in and/or around DW for this. Should we just cab it to the hospital?

Thank you for any guidance. This is a new one for me!

You can call CentraCare and ask if they can do that. It is even possible to get a van to the closest location from your onsite hotel if need be.

Here is their website https://centracare.org

If you are up to it you can remove them yourself. It isn't hard and only requires a pair of tweezers. Done it many times.

That sounds so scary I am trying to block the mental image from my brain!
