Thanks for posting this....
While not a pretty picture, and I'm glad I've already had lunch, [xx(] every time I see one of these it gives me a healthy reminder to think twice in any of my activities with sharp tools.

Yep, stitches are over-rated. Unless it's a plastic surgeon, chances are that you will heal better and with less of a scar if you can get it back together well with band-aids and/or tape (never tried super glue). And presuming you clean it well right away, chances of infection increase dramatically the more time you leave it open. And there's nothing worse than an already busy ER doc sewing up your hand and finding out half way through that several serious trauma patients (car wreck) are 5 minutes away by ambulance.

If it's a clean cut with no muscle, tendon, or ligament damage, I save myself the time and money.



And another thing... I find that a little square of paper towel and brown binding tape are the best bandaids on the market.

Next time I'll just glue it up myself with a little CA.

You laugh.. but I do that all the time. It kind of burns when it hardens, but it stops the bleeding.


And the CA has disappeared by the time the cut heals.
Self-cauterizing even!
