Razor Blade Carnage. Open at your own risk!!

Had a little mishap while cutting a piece of tubing with a razor blade at work last night. I had to remove a mandrel from a piece of tubing and, like an idiot, chose a razor blade to do the job. (Sorry, Erik!) As I'm thinking to myself "I shouldn't be doing it this way" the blade slips and does a number on my thumb and index finger. I'm posting this picture as a reminder to myself and everyone else to think twice before doing things we KNOW are careless.

It didn't hurt too bad (I think I went into mild shock) and I was more embarrassed and feeling foolish than anything. The most ironic part about it all is that I am the M.E.R.T. member for swingshift hours in my building. (Again sorry Erik!)

So before the next time you try something foolish, just remember this pic!

 

Eeeeeeeeeuuuuwwwwww!!!!!!!   We've all been guilty of oops.....

ooooooooooooh, invasive surgery. 
Looks like it's worth a few stitches.

Dustin.....it could have been worse


HEAL FAST MY BRUDAH

I got the call from Security on Thurs night at like 11:00 PM to let me know that somone cut their finger and was taken to the hospital.  Then he says it's Dustin.  Doh!  Not good. 

We have a new addition to the list of how to know when you're addicted to NCKA...

#73  You post your work-related injury report on NCKA.org before you get around to submitting it on your employer's reporting system.

#73  The safety manager at your place of employment begins getting injury reports faster on NCKA.org then through the reporting system that is in place at work.

Holy crap!!!!!! 

I shouted a big "F" bomb when I saw that pic.
So sorry about that bro. Hope you find whatever it takes to still be able to get out there at Elk.

At first glance I thought It looked like Fernando. Major owy Dude hope you are feeling better Heal Fast.

Oh my god, that's a peach. ouch.

I hope it heals up soon and I really hope it's not your "spool thumb"!!!!

Ya know how anchovies swim around with their mouths gaping open?
Now take another look at that pic...
Resemblance?
Looks like some kind of bait, anyway!   

Hope it heals quick.

Thanks everybody! 

Ouch! Could have been worse, though ...

  ah man, I bet you were po'd at yourself when it happened. 

when you get to elk look me up and i'll do a super glue patch on that finger if you haven't already.  shouldn't attract to many sharks, if it does, i'll radio danglin to come wrestle it away from you.  

Yikes ... tell me you reel with your other hand.
