should i have gone to the hospital?

nah doesn't look like you got anywhere near the bone. that would be the only reason i'd go. Just clean it daily and keep it covered.

keep it covered. Don't let it dry out.





why shouldn't i let it dry out? i use triple antibiotic, but that's more to keep the bandage from sticking. it has stopped oozing blood and has formed sort of a "skin" for lack of a better term. last night i loosly put a bandaid over it so it could get some air. this morning i put a finger bandaid over it and the covered it with a finger condom, but twice i bumped it and the pain brought me to my knees so i've gone back to the big gauze bandages.

How about keep hand away from spinning metal wheel of doom!



it wasn't the saw blade that got me, it was the piece i was cutting.

good to know that it will heal faster if i keep it from drying. either way, i think it will take a while to heal. i still need to finish my project though.

thats why i sugested the metal finger brace it protects the tip and is truly worth getting.

Screw the Drs. What are they gonna do?
-fuck with it
-clean it out
-antibiotics
-pain meds
-bill you $850

put a little alcohol on it...it'll be just fine.
:D:D



That's what I love about this country. I've already paid most of my medical bills through my taxes. So if I cut off a piece of my finger or break a fib during a landing or something, I can afford to get it treated.

;)
Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

Wow... if that isn't SC commmentary.


Nope, National Healthcare isn't one of the founding rights. Our medical system isn't the best it could be. I'm sure you'll go and applaud at the end of "Sicko." I've gotten into an argument or two about how someone thought he should be able to go to a foreign country, do illegal substances, followed by high risk activities and still have the US peoples pay for his choices.

But - just to catch you up to speed cuz it seems that several people here really don't know what they are talking about. TrophyHusbands wife is in the Air Force. The ER that he would possibly have gone to would have been within military medical system, which, as I remember, like it is "over there." Along with all the complaints of the system over there. Long wait times because of people being stupid and having no fear of repurcussions or cost. I saw people coming into the ER to be seen because they bumped their head with the camcorder, since they didn't have to pay for the visit, why should they care? If he wen't to a civilian ER, then TriCare (or "try to care") would have covered it. So basically: I've already paid most of his medical bills through my taxes.

But since it's the fourth - you bring up a good point. But, instead of tagging it on TrophyHusbands thread about his finger, how about I start a new thread (knowing full well that it might get bumped to SC)

Not the 'worst' thing I've ever seen in my life (think: Beheading) but it right up there with stuff you do to yourself, take a picture of and put it on the internet.

You're going to have a NASTY infection. Then it will really hurt. I saw the cut the night you put the pic up and I can't bear to read all the stuff that happened in between.

Unless you're building an Emergency Room, forget the project for now and get that finger looked at! Please!!~~April

I'm with you, I hate hospitals and the incredible way they waste time and resources.
Last year at the WFFC we were putting up the flag poles and one of our guys took a HUGE chunk out of the middle of his thumb when the collet and pole came together with a thud. He put a big piece of duct tape on it, and kept working. We had a lot to do..
