Either would have precluded the accident. sigh

No! No! You obviously do not understand. It was a wound; the skin was
damaged; blood was dripping. Prehaps without a visit to the emergency
Clinic he would have died.
Or he could have painted it with Iodine and put a bandaid on it :-)
Around here...we would have taken out a bottle of betadyne, irrigated
it really well, then irrigated it with betadene (dyne?) and then wipe
it externally dry, stick on 3 butterflies to draw it closed and then
a gauze pad over it with maybe..a wooden splint in the wrapping
securing the two fingers for a few days until the wound started
healing at the bottom and gets a good start. If you are in a
"infective" area...fill the hole with neosporin from the 99c store.
Check it in a day or two after that, wash it out again , betadyne it
again, wrap it with gauze for another couple days, check again, then
gauze it until the gauze falls off...or wear a good clean cotton glove
to keep it from banging into things too hard. Tylenol as needed.
If you keep the splint in there...the meat will grow tightly and the
hand will be so stiff for months..it will be nearly useless until you
work with it enough (and under great pain) to get additional meat to
fill out the pressure points.
May not be comfy for a while..but it works. Been there..done that many
times. Same with the wife, kid and critters. Critters I have to
shave and dont use betadyne or neosporin.
Or he could have put in some of his own stitches. Been there, done
that..but it is much better if you have a neighbor willing to sew.

Really?
"Hurt" aint the word.
For Liberals, the truth is like salt to a slug.
Sunlight to a vampire.
RaidŽ to a cockroach.
Sheriff Brody to a shark
Bush to a Liberal
The truth doesn't just hurt. It's painful, like a red hot poker shoved
up their ass. Like sliding down a hundred foot razor blade using their
dick as a brake.
They HATE the truth."
