Disaster Modded my finger.

Well, this mod wasn't really on purpose...

I was opening the plastic package around an APC 12V DC to 220V AC converter with a knife. I notised something was wrong when the knife was stopped by the bone inside my left long finger.

Here is the result, a true ghetto bandage but it stopped the bleeding:

 

ouch. that ghetto bandage is da bomb!

 

It was the best solution at the time to get it to stop the bleeding, improvised pressure bandage.

 

ah well it worked & stopped the bleeding, now for part 2

milk the sympathy for all its worth, especially with the misses

 

Loving your work Mashie

 

nice .... why don't you tie a waterblock onto it to keep it cool

You got it checked by a doctor? Might need glueing back together

 

a bit of dremeling here and there, add some araldite and it will be as good as new.

Did it hurt?

 

After using my ghetto solution for 16 hours it seems to stay together pretty well.

 

Not after it had been under the cold water tap for 10 mintes...

 

take the plaster off and risk infection by takeing pics of it without the wraping, im thinking its only a babeh scratch

 

you want ghetto plasters? you can't beat good old insulation tape for a nice clean and handy alternative. Different colours as well. of course parcel tape and sellotape are pretty good as well, and to think I get paid £110 a year to be a company first -aider, sometimes I frighten myself.

 

yep, i did the same thing with my Leatherman trying to open an ice pole. oops & OUCH!

 

Ouch, sorry bout that dude.

If it makes you feel any better, I would've fainted from the pure idea of the knife touching my bone, then bled to death on the floor.

 

I once managed to very nearly sever the tendon running along the top of my right index finger with a razor blade, there was blood everywhere and now I have a funky L-shaped scar in the knuckle, it was ages before i could bend it properly again. Don't ask how I did it, I was young and silly
