"The internal mends won't break unless there's pressure exerted from inside; they're more healed instead of just sutured. The ones in the skin shouldn't break either; I don't know what they're made of exactly, but it's the strongest stuff I've seen," Cottle says, giving Jack a disapproving look. "And unfortunately I can't do anything about the stupidity of my patients. I agree you should get some rest, but somehow I think you're going to be just as frakking pigheaded as you usually are, am I right?"

"CTU can handle most of the rest of it when we get back. Besides it's not like I haven't sutured my own wounds before," Jack says.
