Go see a doc Chris, it ain't worth the risk

I was cleaning a deli slicer and caught the left side of my right hand pointer and it just slid in about a quarter inch. that was the second time the machine cut me. however that was almost 10 years ago and i didn't have it looked at. i still have pains and wierd feelings in the finger to this day. GET IT CHECKED.

Probably repeating what most have already said. Get ti checked out at the Hospital. Just because you think its OK doesnt mean that it is. Nerve damage severed arteries Minor or major. Infection, Metal flakes that may have been left inside and cause future damage. Loss of mobility to injures limb. I mean what else can I say. Please get it checked out. PLease Please Please

SCORE! I knew it. I took my wifes insurence policy for granted.
You know your body, you probably have patched yourself back together too. Dont let anybody freak you out. You got a second opinion with your wife.

On the other hand I have been called a dumbass by both doctors AND dentist for doing Home Repairs.

Not having health care sucks.

Thanks for the warning. Hot Glue Guns are the worst defiler of customizer flesh.
I had a finger cut in a canoe accident on a rusty antique car. It was freakishly deep. Everybody was amazed at how fast I healed. I did eat a lot of dirt as a kid. Helps your immune system.

Notice how this has turned into the drunk scar show off contest in Jaws ?

Thanks for all the advice on it...I am a little worried about it to be honest...I had the wife clean it out and re bandage it yesterday..When she redoes it today .,.if It looks like its not healing right I am going to go get it fixed right. The money for the doc is the main reason for not going. Really didn't want to cost the family money for my mistake. I am supposed to get insurance in the summer from what my boss tells me...I will be so happy to be able to go to the doctor again and not worry about the cost. Thanks guys for the concern. Please be careful when using some of the tools we all use to customize.

How are you doing?

Superglue is handy for superficial cuts, but this sounds much more serious.

Also, be aware that antibiotics are tailored--ones to treat a sinus infection, for ex, are not helpful for a staph infection.

You do NOT WANT staph in this cut!!! And you really should get a tetanus shot as well.

Just concerned . I've seen some pretty awful stuff.

Wow, this sucks. Go to the Dr, get it stitched. As for taking $ from the family you'll just have to make and sell a few extra customs! Joking aside,you and your family will suffer far more if something which could have been preventable happens to your hand. It was an accident, not like you planned to slice yourself.

Been there, done that and tried like hell to not bleed on the nice white outfit

[Captain_Mego]

Thanks guys and gals for your concern and ideas on the matter...would like to say its healing great. Should be back to sewing soon. I'm am so so so glad it didn't turn out badly.

Sorry--I can't read this anymore. I'm feeling light headed already. Good luck to you, Captn. Take care of that injury.

[Captain_Mego]

lol thanks Jess ,,,I hope things have been going good there at your home front...I am still one of your biggest fans.

Don't feel bad Chris. I knicked myself pretty good working on this Aqualad custom. I slipped and sliced my middle finger on left hand. This is for sure turning into a high risk hobby.
Super glue is an amazing thing when you want to get back to the project.

Be careful or you will get demoted to plastic knives and scissors.
