So there I was, just washing dishes and I looked down and blood was gushing everywhere! I was cleaning an Apple Wedger that we bought from Pampered Chef. We just bought it so I figure that I didn't realize it's effectiveness until I used it on my finger. We had an old one which is really the culprit in the whole deal. I didn't think that they were sharp. Well it's a razor blade! Oh I should mention that it was my middle finger on my left hand.
So we went down to the InstaCare and waited a good hour before someone took us back (after I was told that they rush bleeding people through. - ha!) By the time a Dr saw me it had been an hour and a half and the bleeding had slowed down! She looked at it and asked whether I wanted to glue it or have stiches. I opted for glue since it was faster and I wouldn't have to come back and have them taken out. She did say that it would have been 4 stiches otherwise.
Well she numbed it and it was still bleedingso she put Silver Nitrate on it which helped the blood to clot. Is still didn't stop bleeding so she put a tourni-cot on it to stop. it worked and she glued it. She told me to take it easy, but alas, the next day the glue blew and the blood flowed again. should make for an interesting scar.
CAUTION - I will inclued a couple pictues for the morbidly curious. They could be considered graphic.

I have one of those Pampered chef apple things too, well my parents do anyway.. I have totally cut my finger on it before! They are deceptively sharp. The pictures are way gross. you know, in the cool way ;]
Yeah, that's just disgusting! Curious to see it, but not so after I saw them! Ew! Blood makes me queezy!
Geez, put that thing down!
Nice! Gross but nice. As I was reading I was hoping you would have "action" shots.
