Never saw that much blood in my life. I left blood in the ER room, all over their X-ray machine, the bed, the doctor.
While they were working on me, some Mexicans were cursing and yelling in Spanish about waiting. The doc said I was the priority, I actually had a real emergency. That was nice to hear. Great ER, will go there again if I have to. 
Consider yourself lucky, Matty. |
I hope you've got yourself some legal representation on this one. When I was a kid, some family friends were shopping at a hardware store, and something fell off a high shelf and struck their 4 year old in the head. He had a pretty serious injury. They got all medical bills paid for by the company, and a six figure settlement to boot.
Paper cuts suck ass. For paper cuts (and knicks when I'm shaving), I use a
styptic pencil.
