Thread: Has anyone landed in the ER for a SR cut?

I had 2 "dumb" misses being a noob...but only at the price of being VERY tired and realizing..ok..next time ill be MORE awake FOR SURE!

Please tell me I'm not the only person here who keeps a suture pack at his house. Nothing with a razor yet, but close in a situation with my first spike point and some vicodin and lack of sleep from a tooth problem. I do have an interesting deal with a snow cone machine.

Rookie mistake... You gotta use the blood as an icebreaker!

I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Nope. I've got one, too! I hope I never have to use it, though...

No hospital visits yet but have looked like a "Victim" plenty of times.

My bro-in-law (does anyone have a bro-in-law who is not an idiot?) has an odd habit. Any time he has to do any kind of job involving risk, he dials 9-1 on his cordless handset -- working in the crawlspace for example. He figures that if he can poke another 1, then someone will come to save his behind. I don't worry so much about trying new things.

My worst cut was also on my thumb. It's not a good idea to admire my handiwork while shaving. I did this, and my hands came close together.The left hand was holding a very keen razor, and it found the tip of my right thumb. They net somewhere in the middle, and my right thumb bled a lot. It took me a while to control the bleeding, but the ER was never a real option.

It's a good idea to prepare for all eventualities, but I doubt if most of us will ever wound himself so badly that we will need to go the ER.

(knocks on wood)

Sharpen well, and use a light touch. You will find your way

Cheers,
Ian

Theres super glue on a couple of fingers at the moment from catching a falling razor I decided to admire early in the AM.. least I caught it tho, fingers heal - steel doesn't.
