A&E

Has it been privatised? My local one has.

Ouch!

Years ago I sliced off the tip of my thumb in a meat slicing machine. I was waiting for about four hours in A&E, and that was a quiet day!

hope your DH is ok.?

Oh U can totally sympathise ninathenana and hildajenniJ.

I sliced the end of my thumb off on a meat cutting machine when slicing bacon in my friends corner shop (years ago). The girl I was working with at the time fainted when the blood squirted up into the air and I had to try and bring her around with my poor thumb wrapped in a tea towel. I wasn't sure who needed A&E the most between us!

I made a pretty neat job of the cut and was able to take "the end" to A&E with me. Have never been able to grow the nail on that thumb again and it has a very flat end !

I hope you get out soon nina and that DH is okay.

Oh U ??? Stoopid me.

Should read "Oh I"

Oh dear - I am feeling a bit faint myself!

Hope it wil; be sorted in record time nina.

I have had good service at A&E on the last two occasions that I have had to use it. Also from 111 and from the out-of-hours GP service.

Still here
it's a vertical slice rather than slicing the tip off sorry if that TMI.
DH says thanks for good wishes.

charleygirl Virgin have put in bid.

Just wondered what time you eventually got outta there nina

We left at 4pm. Got to go back on Friday and have it re-dressed.

Many years ago, my husband sliced the fleshy piece of his finger off, at work and was taken to hospital, one of the fellow workers rescued the piece of finger and put it in an envelope, which my husband took to the hospital. The receptionist there was rather bossy, and insisted that she wanted the envelope my husband clutched (thinking obviously it was some written information) my my husband assured he she did not want to look, she insisted, he agreed - guess the end.

Does he gave a "dent" in his finger printmiss ?

No, nina the surgeon managed to stitch the piece of finger back, but there is not feeling in it, and it is a strange shape, as is his thumb which he squashed in another incident - ah! well!

Get our monies worth at times!

Bet DHs thumb is sore nina

DH's slice must be on the garage floor
Yes ww he's on regular doses of paracetamol bless him. He's worked with power tools all his life and never had an accident, reactions must be slowing

My thumb has a kind of flat end with little feeling in it too PRINTMISS.

Oh I can almost feel the throb from here nina
