My most common injury at the moment is sticking my finger into hot melt glue (making an antweight). I don't know why but even though I know it hurts my first action when I'm using it seems to be to shove my finger into it![]()
Anyway, I have a totally irrational problem with needles and injections and it's not that I'm scared of them, it's a subconcious thing.
I managed to mangle my finger when I was drilling one of the brackets for Hydras CO2 bottle. Usual thing wrapped itself around the drill with my finger in it. Nice bleeder and it was pouring out. Managed to get it to stop bleeding and it looked quite nasty so thought I might have to go to hospital for it so I wrapped some insulation tape round it, finished off what I was doing and then off I went about two hours later. Nurse looked at it, gave me a rollocking for getting it dirty and covered it in iodine. Got out the tetanus jab and then preped my arm. Next thing I know I came round with head between my knees and the nurse wetting herself. Couldn't believe that I could do something like that, carry on working, not complain about the antiseptic which stung like hell and then keel over with a little injection![]()
