Money and Health: Slasher

Slasher

Today, I sliced my finger open because my roommate's girlfriend put a broken ceramic plate in the recycling. I was putting some paper in the bin and all of a sudden, an inch and a half of my flesh is naked to the world. I don't have medical insurance, so I fixed it with Superglue. FML

Today, I accidentally super-glued my hand to my face while trying to fix a broken pair of glasses. I yanked it off in a panic, taking a patch of my face along with it. FML

Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML

Today, I was cutting some paper when I accidentally cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger. I went to my car to get my bumbag (I'm a lifeguard) so I could patch it up. I then promptly got a large piece of glass in my foot. FML

Today, I cut my finger open with a spoon. After waiting for 4 hours in the emergency room, the doctor told me I was missing too much flesh to qualify for stitches. He then called 2 other doctors in to examine it. Apparently they had a contest for patient with most ridiculous injury. I won. FML

Today, while observing a surgery, I was asked to open a glass ampule of adrenaline. Not only did I break it and get it everywhere, I sliced open my thumb bad enough to need stitches. FML

Today, I sliced a deep gash into my thumb while carving up bagels. After putting a plaster on, I returned to my room to relax, where I lit a candle. The flame from my new lighter shot up, and set fire to the plaster on my thumb. Now I have a cut AND several burns. FML

Glassed

Today, I reached for my lip balm while laying in bed in the dark. I accidentally knocked my bedside lamp, and it fell on my hand and shattered. A huge glass fragment impaled my hand. I just got out of surgery. FML

Slice of life

By Eleanor - 19/02/2017 23:00 - United Kingdom - Leeds

Today, I tripped and fell on my open dishwasher, right onto a carving knife. I'm mostly ok, except that my nipple has been sliced neatly in half. Seriously, the two halves keep flapping open like a little mouth. It would be funnier if it wasn't so painful. FML

Today, I was trying to fix a broken desk fan. I'd taken the guard off and was trying to unscrew the blades, when my roommate decided it'd be funny to plug it in. The blades sliced into my thumb. I need stitches, and he still thinks it's hilarious. FML

Tax increases make it cost more to people who actually have a job than normal paid health care.

You should have used bandages. If that doesn't work or if you don't have any try duct tape. It's not that the superglue will kill you, but the oils that our bodies produce eat away at the glue opening the wound up again later on. Hopefully the wound will heal before that happens. If not, go with bandages next time.

And yet you are probably typing/texting with that injured finger...

You don't need medical insurance. You need a band-aid. And I don't understand how putting paper in the recycle bin gives you a cut. Do you violently throw it in so your hand slams the bottom of the bin?

take the glue out and put some antibacterial on there. the hit up ure first aid kit and use gauze to cover it up and tape it. u might need help taping it tho. it'll be alright. just tell that girl she has to be more aware next time. tc

superglue was originally designed for just that thing during surgery

I think this is bullshit. Who the hell is really so stupid that they'd superglue a cut closed? Come on! I hope you're lying and if you're not please don't have children. Thank you.

Just so you know this isn't complete bullshit... it's actually quite common to use superglue on cuts... it's better than stitches in most cases... if it wasn't a really super bad cut then it's just fine as long as you keep an eye on it...
