Belt Fed Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Was doing some remodeling and putting new piers under the shop floor. they were sagging a bit. while scewing a board in i jammed a torx bit almost through my thumb. bled like a stuck hog. bled all over the dog before i moved. lol she just layed there. anyway put a cloth rag and electrical tape on it and worked another 4 hours.

98Z5V Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) That is EPIC, Belt!!! See, not everything fingers-n-toes grosses me out. Smashed knuckles - I do that once a week. Punctures don't freak me out - they're just little holes that something went into, and a little bit of QuikClot will stop that right away - unless there's still a projectile in there, somewhere... Severed fingers-n-toes? Degloved? Bent the wrong way or bone and tendon sticking out? Severe cuts, where I can look into them and see either muscle or tendon? And there's that initial pause, where you see white bone, or red muscle, or a white severed tendon sticking up like a piece of spaghetti... before ANY blood comes out?... I'm barfing, first, addressing it later... Same injury on an arm or leg, and not finger-n-toe? Whatever. Stuff in the stuff that supposed to be in there, wrap you tight to control the bleeding (pressure dressing), or just tourniquet the limb... But not on a finger-n-toe like that... Gross... You gotta do better than that, brother. I was ready to turn off the monitor - but that wasn't bad... P.S. You did it right, with the shop towel and electrical tape. That's the preferred method, right there, for a mechanic. Kudos... Edited July 5, 2021 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I'm glad that you thought about me, with the blood everywhere... Long enough to get some pics, before you healed yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belt Fed Posted July 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Guess i should have took another pic of the piece of meat hangin out of the hole. but i was tired and ready to get another bandage back on. that torx bit was spinning full RPM when it went in.

Oh, I saw it - looks like a little piece of raw hamburger on your thumb. You churned it up WELL - that thing is gonna be sore... Torx bits don't fuk around... It's a little tiny flesh-blender on the end of a hi-speed drill... Edited July 5, 2021 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd go through your pockets first, checking for new cards and cash - then control the bleeding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 It depends on how much life insurance he has on you that he uses your cards to pay the premium. You may be worth more to him when you are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf McQuade Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) This is ALL SoFukingWrong! I'm not a monster 🖕. Glad you're not injured too bad @Belt Fed . @98Z5V ......🖕🖕 I would never go through his pockets (I just hack his computer to mirror via mine). @Armed Eye Doc , I didn't make the initial payment on the Life insurance premium yet, so till tomorrow, he's worth more to me alive Edited July 6, 2021 by Lonewolf McQuade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt Fed Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Finished the floor. Couldnt find any 3/4 plywood besides birch. Looks funny but itll have oil and mud and dirt on it soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks kinda like one of my 4 bandAids and a wad of paper towel, and a bungy cord tourniquet job get-it-done-now! honey doos projects. If you live as long as I have you will get used to seeing blood flow and skin torn off a lot. I was a Boy Scout back 70 years ago, passed my First Aid merit badge, and learned to yell CORPSMAN ! in the USMC. Wish I had the services of a good Corpsman, around here, but the only one I know was a Xray picture taker guy, He is Absolutely useless for flowing blood or torn off skin. My wife is almost as good as I am if I can't reach the point of injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
