Staples for elbow laceration?!?

Now I'm not a medical guy- nor doctor or whatever you want to use for the nursing end; but I have been the guy that has been on the injury side of things. I'm sure the staples were a quick decision, I think if you have pictures of it, make sure you keep them just in case. Yeah it seems a little out there, but from my knowledge even staples could be used on any cut or laceration. I'm sure it depends on the depth of the cut, length of the cut, or even the severity. You'd have a scar regardless of staples or stitches; I think stitches would have been a smarter route but staples aren't really a bad idea. It's also normal for the sensitivity around the wound/laceration because it's been in a trauma so it'll be a few months before things go back to normal. I would keep an exact detail journal on things; just in case you need to take legal action. I hope this explains a little bit, I mean I can't give you a medical diagnoses, but I can give you the sympathetic side of view, where I know what you're going through to the extent of I've been cut open a few times(or had friends wounded) and doctors either took in account a few things, or didn't take the best care of them or I. Many doctors have the best intentions, but they don't let the patients have patience- meaning they rush them in, rush them out and onto the next rush.
