Reminds me of that DeLorean that someone modified so it had "normal" car doors instead of those funky "gullwing" doors. It's a shame too, 'cuz there aren't many DeLoreans left, and I think messing with the doors like that kind of ruins it a little.

I mean it's the worst car I've seen, it is a corvette after all. I wouldn't do the procedure myself but It would be cool to own

It is better for reducing the risk of infection when wounds bleed like that, but key word is reducing, bacteria can still be stuck at the edges of the wound with blood flowing past them, tiny pieces of dirt or rust can get stuck in the tissues if the wound is deep, and it is just not a 100% guarantee at all. It also definitely should be considered in the context of the treatment - a very safe, single vaccination, with good long term efficacy, ~10 years. It’s not like a risky invasive surgery or anything, just seems very strange not to suggest it. If you had got it in the more recent past maybe she was just reassuring you?
