The Mighty Paper Clip
You’re working in the ED on a busy Halloween evening. So far you have seen patient’s in all manner of costumes.. 2 Donald Trumps, 1 Santa Claus, a father-daughter pairing of Beast and Belle. Your next patient is dressed as Kylo Ren. He is a 16 yo M who was out trick or treating with some friends when they started to play fight with their lightsabers. He was attempting to block a strike when his friends lightsaber bounced off his and hit him in the right eye. He immediately had severe pain in the eye and face and noticed some loss of vision. He went home and showed his parents who brought him to see you in the ED.
