Oh dear lordy the pain

I just hit my hand by accident of a door and poor a 2 cm deep cut on my thumb to the point it's like a thumb separating !

Dunno if it's a hospital visit or it'll heal !

Parked up at work this morning and stayed in the car for a few minutes checking something on my phone when I noticed the car nudge a bit as if someone was putting something in the boot. Turns out it was a cat clambering into the engine bay! Man they love heat.

Must have been a big bastard of a cat!

Bit of an oul bandage, job sorted, quit your whining!! :P

Ah no, but if you can't get the bleeding under control fairly rapid and if it's as serious as it sounds then I'd be seeking some medical attention!

I'm trying the hand above the head for the last 30 mins with wet and dry tissue around the cut and still bleeding strong and stinging

Just an idea of how deep it went the nail also suffered by being cut inwards somehow !

I know there's a rule on medical advice somewhere here, but apply tight pressure just below the cut, i.e at the bottom of the finger, should reduce blood flow. Get some help though, you don't want to be dealing with infections and the likes from the nail protruding in.

Did get cut from the door (where the lock goes into the metal hole for the lock)

That will need to be stitched, although you probably would get away with steri strips if the person putting them on knows what they're doing.

Speaking with my EMT hat on. You'll need that glued/sutured. Away to your GP/Primary Care. Go to your A&E and you'll never be seen.

Not in Ireland. The HSE think if you're able to walk you're able to wait.

Seriously though, get that looked as ASAP. Is there something like Shannon Doc near you?

Well i just came out from the first check nurse in a+e and its plastered up correctly for now, and there's only 4 people ahead of me to see a doc 1 of which went missing so only 3 then me !

Seems like the shortest waiting list I've been on !

Cheers for the help anyway lads.... if i didn't listen id still be home with my hand in the air !

Wow, that was quick. Lucky you. Good thing you had it looked at, that could get really bad very quickly, especially over night.

Also I've decided that I'm just going to go back to Dublin tomorrow. Let work wait. I probably won't be making the journey in a company car though...

Do you know what, I'm so ****ing tempted to burn this ****ing Landcruiser I have and walk home from work and quit tomorrow.

If you want to sign it over to me, i'll take it.

You know.. instead of burning it out, like.

... no harm in trying..

Where is this magic A&E? Sounds like it would be quicker to drive there from limerick than suffer the circles of hell here.

I thought it was really odd too but even the staff were going around scratching their heads wondering why it was such a quiet night. The waiting room only had two people around me !

So i attempted to bleed my clutch today just so it'd have fresh fluid in it. After doing it there is now no resistance at all to the clutch pedal (it still springs back up fully) . And obviously I can't change gear

Did you keep fluid in the reservoir at all times?
