Dude, don't you know what paper towels and electrical tape are for? I was in the cleanroom! No paper towels allowed and I couldn't fit my gloves over that stuff anyway and if you bleed much in those gloves they fill up and blood comes out the cuff. Not to mention the fact that they'll stick to your hands and be nearly impossible to get off...unless you use those damned cotton glove liners that make your hands smell like a buzzard threw up on them. 
You didn't get cut on a wafer did you? IIRC, they're pretty toxic if some of it gets imbedded in your skin. |

Shit. Just shoot some carb cleaner on it. It will stop the bleeding, and leaves a cooler scar.

This isn't my first time to get hurt....Injuries in order of occurance best I can remember: Concussion Broken finger Busted ear drum Nail through foot Broken bottle stuck in other foot Broken arm Broken fingers Broken ribs Broken collar bone/dislocated shoulder Bullet/quarter fragments in eye Broken foot Concussion with amnesia for 3 days Impalement almost all the way through left leg Broken toes - surgery to pin one Cracked skull above eye/crushed sinuses Appendix out - surgery Torn muscle in left leg with subsequent infection - surgery 10 days in hospital Broken fingers Torn ligaments in left foot Broken hand Knee surgery Kidney stones Cut on finger I think that's about it. Out of all of that kidney stones were by far the worst pain I've ever been in. I don't see how much anything can hurt worse than that. |

Stitches on the hand suck! Yep, every time you go to grab the remote, you will regret flexing that knuckle. Splint that shit with something that protects the knuckle too then. And they don't suck! Usually gashes don't swell and hurt like other soft tissue lacerations can and the anesthetic works EXETREMELY well on the digits, making the most painful part usually the tiny needle used to numb it (boohoo). And once it heals, if the stiches don't dissolve, they are kinda fun to clip and pull out... The feeling thread makes sliding through the skin is kinda cool. |

I bumped my hand on the wall & got a knuckle like that once
, got about 4 stitches on this though.
Proof that my skin is not stronger than a steel gear. This came complete with grease zerk hole to the right of the main rip.

Good idea to get it stitched up.
When I was seventeen my younger brother whacked me in the same spot on my right index finger with a piece of angle steel and I needed stitches too. Unfortunately, I was headed to boot camp the next day so I put a bandaid on it and forgot about it. Damn thing stayed open and bled for weeks. Pissed me off too.  Never did go to the corpsman. It finally healed and I still have a cool little scar on my knuckel to remind me.

Well since we have gotten away from the hand I can show you my boo boos......
That's the outside this is the inside 
Then it all healed up (except for the bone of course) and they had to cut me again... 
Of course then they had to put me in one of these.... 
And the story goes on and on and on............. |

I was actually a big hurdle in the hospital to get over that term because one person was calling it traction and others were not and it caused MUCH confusion but it did suck nonetheless. |

Ya just squirt some superglue in there, hold closed for 30 seconds and get back to work!
I actually cut my hand pretty good as a teenager. My friend's mom was a nurse. She closed it up with superglue. Pain stopped too. |

that required stitches? I do a good portion of my work in a cleanroom. Cut it while I was in the cleanroom, bled all over the nice white floors, ruined a smock and had to report it. At that point you've pretty much got to seek some type of medical attention because I left work and wouldn't have been allowed to stay if I had wanted to. The onsite EMT's were called to clean up the blood but I had already left before they had a chance to come find me. The doctor said it needed to be stitched because it was directly across the knuckle and would take a long time to heal with a higher risk of infection. I busted one of the stitches out the next day by just bending my finger so I'm pretty sure it would have taken forever to heal without them. When you work for a huge fortune 500 corporation you can't just bleed all over the place without reporting it to someone. I could actually get in trouble had I done nothing since it was a "safety issue". In fact, they are making a new rule because of me that you MUST call the onsite EMT's and then refuse treatment instead of just not calling them if you have any type of injury. You wouldn't believe what a big deal has been made out of it. I've had meetings with supervisors, the onsite nurse practicioner, HR for the workers comp issue then management and the safety teams have both had meetings over the incident. It would be a lot different if I worked at Joe Bob's Garage where I could just tape it up and go back to work but I don't. In any case, it didn't cost me anything and I got two hours off of work for free not counting the work I've got out of for the meetings, etc this week.
