With the right supplies, I can. We'd need sterilized needles for stitching - my acupuncture needles aren't quite the right type. And clean, sturdy thread, as well.
Hmm... well, this is simplifying it quite a bit, but in essence it's identifying parts of the body to put pressure on with needles to provide relief from certain symptoms or to identify certain illnesses.

Miss, I'm a doctor. We may not have the supplies needed for stitches right now, but depending on the exact condition of your wound there may be other treatments I can suggest until we do. It will also help me if I know what it looks like before I go looking for stitching supplies, so I know exactly how much I'll need.

Yes, I am. Is there something you need assistance with?
no subject
I would have fixed it if it was working, but... [She's muttering to herself more, but now she's raising her voice.] Can you do stitches?

[Hm. More thinking.]
You said acupuncture? What's that?

Is it hard to learn, doctor?
no subject
[she smiles]
It takes time and dedicated effort to learn, so some might find it difficult. I thought it was quite fun when I was learning it, though.

[She sniffs.]
It's good to have you around here. We need someone like you.
no subject
Well, if I can be of help, I'm glad for it.

[A pause, and then...]
I have a power. An ability. That could help heal people. If you need help, and I manage to get it back...I'll provide my aid to you.

That's wonderful. Thank you!

[A huff.]
Anyways. That's what I wanted to say.

I'll be glad to help you with any stitching you need once we get the proper supplies. I'll keep an eye out for anything we might be able to use.

I'll let you look at it. But I can't say there's much you can do right now.

...we'll need bandages for this. I have an idea, but... I'll need to check in on something first. Can I come and find you tomorrow?
In the meantime, cleaning the wound with a bit of fresh water will help prevent anything from infecting it.
But I think this can definitely be stitched, once we get the proper supplies.
