Last night I cut the end off the little finger of my dominant (left) hand. I did this using the only tool which I can use well with my right hand - scissors. I was anonymising a small bit of paper with my name and address on it. The scissors are very sharp. My finger was hidden by the paper. I am stupid.
It may have only been the outer skin I cut off but it bled a lot and still hurts a lot and I think it still might be bleeding under the fat dressing my wife put on. Definitely worse than the last time I cut the end off a finger (1984 I think) and I went to A&E for that one, which at least was my right hand (kitchen knife, sweet potato, middle finger).
So, it's a well known fact that there's nothing worse than paper cuts. right? Nothing! Well, since for comparison I did get a paper cut earlier in the evening, I can now refute this! Injuries obtained whilst cutting paper, can potentially be actually worse than paper cuts.
Anyone else care to share stupid injuries?
