This is really just a reminder to not become complacent / too at
ease with the tools we use every day. They can all be quite
dangerous.
I just returned from ER - 3 stiches are now holding my pinkie
finger-tip in place on my finger. I was simply cutting open a
package of dichroic glass - a little too eagerly - the scalpel
slipped and cut 1/4" into the underside tip of my pinkie. (That’s
about half into my finger.) 15 minutes of pressure did nothing to
relieve the bleeding so I was forced to admit to my wife (a nurse)
what had happened… Needless to say, she “suggested” that I
should go to ER.
I guess I need to actually use those stainless steel/kevlar combo
gloves… :>
