TrophyHusband 0 #1 July 3, 2007 i had a little mishap with a chop saw last thursday. i decided that i didn't need to go to the er, but other people feel different. in my defense, i cleaned it out myself, my wife brought home antibiotics, and most importantly, i have extra pain meds laying around. i decided that the only thing an er was going to do was fuck with it, so i decided not to go. should i have gone to the hospital? would you have gone?

waltappel 1 #2 July 3, 2007 I wouldn't unless it starts to look infected. In fact, you might want to consider doing the rest of your fingertips on that hand--it would be great for guitar playing! Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHusband 0 #6 July 3, 2007 my wife works with those nurses, and i've already seen some of them naked anyway. besides, my wife's nurse was off work when i did it and came over to bandage it up and help me clean up the blood.

I hate doctors, but if it starts to smell bad, go. And hit up your buddies for some spare antibotics. A friendly dose of a Hydrogen Peroxide pour over the wound daily doesnt hurt either.Be yourself!

Zep 0 #10 July 3, 2007 I remember years ago when I had severe case of road rash on my elbow (took the skin off down to the bone) I had to go to the hospital every three days to have the scab burnt off with some liquid till enough new skin had grown to fill the hole, hurt like hell.

pinkfairy 0 #12 July 3, 2007 You will soon find out. I'd say better safe than sorry and have a doctor have a look at it before it becomes infected or something. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdthomas 0 #13 July 3, 2007 QuoteQuote And hit up your buddies for some spare antibotics. A friendly dose of a Hydrogen Peroxide pour over the wound daily doesnt hurt either. yes you are on the right path, keep it very clean and NO hydrogen peroixide, that stuff eats away at good flesh as well. Flush it with plenty of water, and iodine solution mixed with more water. keep the dressing clean and yes if it starts to smell, turn funny colors then by all means go to your doctor.. about the meds.. the normal route is ten days of meds three times per day. good luck.

That injury, keep an eye on. If it scabs over and starts healing well, you're clear. With ANY sign of infection (don't wait for the red lines going up the arm.... or the gangrene) go in. You might need IV abx. Don't do the H2O2. It actually does more cell damage than good. Just keep it clean.
