    Ouch! That hurts all the way over here. Mom was a nurse and she stitched, stapled and taped us five kids up because going to the Dr. cost MONEY!
    Heal up well.

    Eat fat juicy steaks with onions and garlic and rebuild your strength!

    Hand cuts are awful they bleed so much and slow to heal, reaching into a pocket will remind you so clearly!

    Its a blessing that she can fix your skin and have a smaller scar.

    I have found great utility from quick clot powder, can open the pouch with my teeth and pack the powder into a cut stops bleeding and forms a scab immediately.

    It may be usefull to have a pouch nearby while your hand heals.

    I find it in well stocked super walmarts pharmacy.

    That looks like one of those deals where the fix hurts more than the injury.

    It reminds me of when I banged my head once, and it hurt! It really 'rang my bell'.
    Somebody asked me if I was OK.
    I told 'em, "Yeah. In fact I feel a whole lot smarter now. I just learned I don't want to do that again".

    On Sept 7, I had a kickback while checking a set up on my table saw. Needed 11 stitches.

    When I had my surgery on my back the MD used Superglue to hold my body together. No stitches - no staples, just Super Glue to hold me together. I have a 7.5" scar and my nurse in the hospital, when she saw my incision, exclaimed "Wow, one cut! That's beautiful!" I guess I had a great neural surgeon.

    that's nasty! 2 weeks ago i chopped off about 1/4 inch of my finger straight down through the finger nail too with a splitting axe. It was a freakish clean cut, like chopping off the ends of a cucumber, blood was squirting out in jets...that ruined my day off. My wife panicked because she never saw me act like that before, holding my hand covered in blood. Sometimes i cut myself in the shop and she is the one who points it out to me, i don't realize it. These wounds happen when you do productive things sometimes...the scars are reminders to pay attention. I count my blessings, could have been worse.

    I got cut at work several years ago, and they drug me kicking and screaming to the Doc-in-a-box emergency room.
    The Doc. crazy glued me too.

    I'd never heard of that before, so I asked about it, and they said it was a deal that came from battlefield medicine during the Gulf war.
