thanks, but im not a retarded fag

>>15748669
I think you need stitches.

>>15748669
stick your penis in it

The aftermath.

>>15748669
I'm trying to figure out how you cut that part of your hand while sharpening a knife, but I'm not retarded enough to envision it.

>>15748669
pretty shitty place for some scar tissue. gonna be a bitch for more than a decade

>>15748669
Dilate.

Oh sorry, wrong board.

>>15748684
They did a shitty job, bro

>>15748684
just 3 stiches? wut

>>15748669
Why is it so fucking deep?! Must have been one hell of a knife or your applying too much pressure while sharpening.

>>15748669
I’m a little surprised you were able to stop the bleeding on a cut that big and deep. I cut my pinky once and even the next day, it would start bleeding again when I took off the bandages. Looks like that’s going to need some stitches.

>>15748703
Im very thankful my body heals up nicely, never had to deal with any of this alleged inferior "scar" tissue. My wounds just leave a mark, not some weaker area prone to being redamaged.

>>15748684
Lmao American healthcare is FUCKED

>>15748752
I wonder how that will play out after your inevitable SRS.

>>15748764
seriously what the fuck dude are you kidding me? Was this an Indian or blacks doctor? I had 12 stitches for a cut on my thumb. This is ridiculous you are going to get it infected and lose your fucking hand

>>15748684
It so happens that I used to work in hand surgery.
It looks fine.
Probably a fucking a hassle keeping from over using it while it heals, though.

>>15748703
It was pretty superficial. I only went to the emergency room because it got the muscle exposed. But it was just skin.

>>15748713
It was a woman, about half my height. Don’t know if it matters.

>>15748721
I was sharpening the knife on the bottom of a mug, which I grabbed at a wonky angle, and the blade was turned toward me. I’ve always done similarly to that, but this time things went south. Could have been a lot worse.

>>15748741
I pressured the wound with a sock, basically, but my kitchen looks like a murder scene.

>>15748778
He'll be fine as long as he covers it and takes care of it

>>15748741
You may have a mineral deficiency

>>15748669
Did you die?

>>15748764
I’m not American nor an I in America at the moment. If I were they would have probably given me Vicodin for the pain lol. I just got told to take paracetamol if it hurts.

>>15748764
Fucking obsessed. Yeah, we pay for healthcare but it's the best in the world. There's a reason foreigners keep coming here for medical treatment.

>>15748669
Bin dat knoife.

>>15748787
I hope you have learned a valuable lesson about how epic life hacks you see on facebook aren't substitutes for actual kitchen tools or techniques.

>>15748718

Helps prevent scarring, not sure why though -- when I busted my head open after slipping on a fishing boat the doc said the same thing. I only had like 4 stitches for a gash that was like 10-12 cms long

>>15748764
This happened to me up near Port Hardy in BC, so don't make an uneducated assumption just because you have a vice against Americans

>>15748684
>Can't even use a hand properly
coomers are laughing at you

>>15748838
>best in the world
>700,000 deaths from a tiny flu

>>15748910
Our government counts vehicular accidents as COVID deaths if the cadaver tests positive fyi

>>15748792
He likely will be but with more stitches he'd be less likely to pop one. God help him if the swelling gets bad, because the pressure from the wound itself could overload a stitch and force its way through the skin.

>>15748910
>>15748916
This. Back during the Zika virus scare I worked in a blood lab at a for-profit hospital, and I've overheard doctors and department heads talking about doing whatever they could to run tests on insured patients to either charge extra for a test they probably didn't need, and if they found a case the hospital receives some kind of money from the government. Those death counts and infection rates you see blowing up in the news are just basically just businesses blowing things out of proportion for extra money.

>>15748916
>>15748965
>heh, you see [insert problem] isn't actually a big deal, it's just our greatest allies fucking us in the ass and we just keep asking for more
burgerbros, this isn't funny anymore

The hand is stitched properly. As long as anon treats it right and doesn't go tree climbing or some shit it will heal just as fine as with more stitches while actually being less invasive and less prone to complications. This type of stitch while not looking the best is actually great for minimal scar tissue formation.
>>15748792
>>15748786
This.

>>15748752

>yeah i'm like really strong and powerful and lol

yeah you'll scar easier when you get older. might want to learn how to hold a knife without almost cutting your fucking thumb off in the meantime.

>>15748684
oof. thats gonna take a while to heal.

>>15748669
>cant see bone
>not sharp enough

>>15748787
Post your kitchen

>>15749176
well yeah, he wasn't done sharpening

>>15748669
Be careful with you're avocado toast fellas

>>15749213
>you're avocado toast
no, you're an avocado toast

>>15749194
It’s like that pretty much everywhere, including the stair steps.

>>15748669
why the fuck were you using your feet to sharpen knives?

>>15748718
They charge by stitch. It's $10,000 (plus tip).

>>15748669
I did this at a grocery store I was working at when I was 19 and ran a box cutter over my left wrist. Put pressure on it and went to the bathroom that was all white with white tiles and sinks and ran it under the water
Blood got fucking everywhere and then I asked for help.

>>15749218
Not as bad as I expected

Did you get pain killers prescribed?

>>15749439
I didn’t pay for anything, consultation, stitches or tetanus vaccine.

>>15749487
Just paracetamol.

>>15748778
The number of stiches depend on the type of wound. If it is a small wound that keeps flopping open then you will need more stiches to keep it closed. A large, deep wound like OP has only needs about one stich per inch because there is plenty of meat on that part of the hand to keep it closed.

RWJ in new brunswick, nj charged me $5500 for 3 crooked stitches. the nurse who did em had those weird eyes when one looks at you and another one looks very much somewhere else. horrible place.
