Suture removal is generally included in the global surgical package if the removal is done by the physician who performed the surgery.

I've seen the estimate range from 50,000 to 100,000 miles. Go to: http://www.sln.fi.edu/biosci/heart.html and click on vessels. You'll see it stated that there are over 60,000 miles (97,000 kilometers) of blood vessels in a child's body and close to 100,000 miles (161,000 kilometers) in an adult's. The circumference of the earth at the equator is 25,000 miles.
Letâs see how much of blood is in the human body in terms of quantities such as liters, gallons, quarts and pints. An average adult male weighing 160 pounds has 5 liters of blood in his body. An average female has slightly lesser than 5 liters of blood in the body. The volume of blood in a personâs body approximately comprises of 1/11th of the whole body weight. The human body can hold an average of 6 litres of blood in the body.
