Let staplers substitute for staple guns in surgery.

[Studenterhue]

As far as I know, while you can use regular knives in place of scalpels, among other substitutes, there isn't a back-alley equivalent for staple guns. I propose those red staplers you get from office supply closets should be those substitutes, allowing them to function as staple guns during surgery. (Just to be clear, I don't think it should substitute for the staple gun in the zip gun recipe.) After all, office staples, medical staples, paper, people, what's the difference?
