Since your a Dr., you might be interested in how the Tanzanian's used to suture themselves if a medical facility was not available. Cut the leaf off a sisal plant. 2'-3' long. Keep the needle on the leaf and start stripping all of the pulp and all the strands of sisal except for possibly 10 strands that are still attached to the needle. Presto, you now have a needle and thread. The diameter of the needle would have to make it painful, but it was sanitary and did the job.
PS: Planted 3-4 deep they also make great fences.
It’s bringing tears to my eyes just thinking about.
