I used to work the phones for customer service for greenworks. I've seen videos on pressure washers cutting chicken lol. Ouch.

Woah! Powerful washer

Ouch…. 😬

I think I would do a surgical stitch to the proximal ... 🧐 #DocChain

Thanks. It cut quick and clean like a razor, but it's not too deep. Felt a little sting, but honestly didn't notice I was cut until I looked at it. It'll be okay. Looks pretty gnarly though.

Superglue is on the table too πŸ˜„πŸͺ‘🧡

Its fantastic but I think with pressure wounds, there can be slightly deeper damage. If I remember rightly, have to be a little more careful there

That's something really emphasised in training. You don't notice it often til after the damage is done. Good reminder for people. Hope it heals fast πŸ«‚

πŸ’― Thank you πŸ«‚

Gnarly IS cool. I got scars and burns in places. I'm not a self harmer, honestly lol. I just get stuck in until a thing is done. Oblivious, and then I'm like "oh. Ooosie" 🩸

I see this a lot in the ED. Also with paint sprayers and other pressurized objects. I've seen people fill their hands with paint and motor oil.

I can only imagine.

How many sutures ???

Not going to get any. Looks gnarly, but it's not too deep. It'll be okay.

People on the streets 🎡

Ouch…

Ow god Ava. Be careful. Might want to keep that covered until it heals.

Also, I have seen pressurized water and sand cut through 4 inches of steel in a industrial setting

A pressure washer will blast a hole straight through a person.

Thank you. It'll be fine. Looks worse than it is. Indeed, pressurized water must be respected.

DANG! 😲

Proof of work.

Super glue. Done. XOXO

Confirmo 😣

Ooooowwwwww

eesh, scary

damn. when i first saw the picture it reminded me of both of my thumbs that have scars in similar places to your cuts. i got mine from tearing apart old ass computers with sharp metal cases.

did this once with a sandblaster in construction when I was a teenager. Went through two sets of gloves and I had green ooze and sand coming out of my hand for almost a year lol

Oof πŸ«‚

Fancy doing that. What a dumbass. That's totally what I'd do too lol 🀣
