I hate paper cuts too, but last week I had a glass tube-style solar panel (yes the kind that go on a roof and measures about 12 feet by 8 feet) fell off a store display and sliced my upper arm open. Made a gash big enough I could have slid my wallet in it like a pocket. Buckets of blood. Emergency room. Stitches. Ouch.

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.

Interesting that you managed to find out their nationality while spewing blood

Pics of the aftermath?

OK here you go...keep in mind this is after neatly 3 weeks of healing and after stitches were out, but it gives you an idea of the size. It was hanging open like a flap and about 1/4 inch deep. Haha.

Did not imbed incase some weak-stomached weakling wants to complain. If your curiosity makes you click the link, it's your own faults.

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.

It's taken care of, I'm not paying a dime.

I keep a styptic pencil around for shaving incidents.
