Ok so I'm not sure I can 'beat' that but I can come close. So Several years ago I was doing a bit of mold line clean up as you you, sat in-front of the TV watching Aliens, great moving for doing anything geek to
I was however in a state on some-what 'undress'. It was summer I was hot, so I was just wearing a pair on Cargo style shorts and flip-flops. I place the scalpel down on the couch went to the bathroom then returned and sat down........
Now those of you laughing/cringeing about what I'm going to say next, you WAY OFF
Luckily I had NOT sat on my scalpel, however as I relaxed I realised, engrosed in the film - it was the bit on the special edition with the sentry guns
, two things.
1. I was minus a scalpel.
2. There was a sharp pain in my forarm.
I lifted my arm up and to my surprise there was my scalpel, blade deep to the hilt hanging out of my arm.
Luckily for me I use brand new blades wherever possible, and a Swann 12 blade it was. For those not in the know that's a straight angular blade similar to those on the GW hobby knife(I think) NOT the large 24/10 blade your average Surgeon uses. Thank God!
I very calmly, removed the scalpel, lifted my arm over shoulder height, applied pressure, and thought, F$£% what do I do now?
Blood was slowly oozing from the wound through my clamped hand and down both arms.
Instinct and training kicked in.
So I grabbed a pair off military issue black socks easily thrown away after, as best i could, tied 1 off over the wound then the other loosely over that and calmly walked to the other end of the block I lived in, knocked on my buddy, and asked him to drive me to the medical centre to get one of the medics to take a look.
At this point there was a fair bit of blood. Luckily it had only been around 9pm another hr or two later, and they would have been off duty and it's have been a trip to A&E 17 miles away.
Luckily for me the 2 female medics were both amused and very understanding. I said I'd done it cutting a picture frame
Glue, dressing, no stitches and an invitation for drinks later was how it all ended.
Lesson learnt.
No semi-naked modeling without placing the scalpel on a table or well out of the way
Oh and
Joey when it comes to Knives, a SEAL should know better
And I concur with the superglue thing, good skills. I hope you heal up soon mate, nothing worse than a self inflicted hobby injury to dampen the spirits.
