We all learn such interesting things when we go through our skin cancer procedures ! Even I as a nurse (and past Pink Panther aficionado!) I had to look up what a hockey stick suture was. I learned it's actually more of an incision/closure, specifically in this case to " align the eyebrow edges and reduce tension on the wound. This approach can help minimize scarring and improve the overall aesthetic outcome of the repair. I'm wondering if the doctor was using some levity to the situation, but I have to ask you, Mr. T - are you pleased with the outcome?

As for @bluelizard, I admire your skill in writing and sense of humor. I've read that humor can help reduce stress and anxiety. Have you found that to be the case in your experience going through this, and perhaps in different trying circumstances?
