Today, I cut my finger with a knife while cooking. I work in a hospital and have to use hand disinfectant at least every twenty minutes. It hurts badly. I have to work for eight hours. FML

Today, I cut my finger at work while chopping some vegetables. I grabbed the nearest rag I could to stop the bleeding and put it on the cut. I didn't know the rag had just been used to clean up a lemon juice spill. FML

Today, while I was at work in a machine shop, I cut myself really bad. Not by any sharp tools, drills, or metals I work with. Just the soap dispenser. FML

Put it away

Today, I managed to cut myself twice with a Swiss army knife. Stabbed in one hand and sliced a finger on the other. Good to know it's super sharp. FML

Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML

Today, I received roughly 50 paper cuts while I was at work. I didn't realize this until after I applied hand sanitizer. FML

ER time

Today, I cut my hand on nothing while at work. It bled so much, I began to feel woozy, and everyone kept brushing me off when I asked where the first aid kits were. FML

Today, I was cleaning a pan. I turned the water on, and it was super hot. My reaction was to slam my hand down. On a knife. So, not only do I have a burned hand, but there's also a huge cut on it from the knife. FML

Happy wife, happy life, right?

Today, I was chopping veggies for dinner and accidentally sliced through my thumbnail and into my finger. I wrapped it and finished cooking, despite being in considerable pain. My husband patted my shoulder and said sympathetically, "Don’t worry about the dishes babe. You can just do them tomorrow.” FML

Today, I cut my leg deeply at the beginning of my work shift. I wrapped it up with packing tape and a thankfully sterile paper towel, and had to work 6 more hours before I could leave. I made 110 dollars at work, only to spend 120 on stitches. FML

Today, during my second shift back at work after missing four weeks for knee surgery, I stabbed myself in the hand and now need three weeks off for that surgery. Just as I'm up for a promotion. FML

Worst way to find out you have a paper cut; use purell.

The cluelessness in this entire comment section is absolutely mind boggling. She works in a hospital - she knows what a ******* Band-aid is, morons. And I guarantee you she's already wearing gloves. The problem is that she has to wash her hands after every patient contact, even after wearing gloves. The simple solution is cyanoacrylate skin adhesive. Do NOT use Super Glue or Krazy Glue or any other product you buy at the store. The hospital will have some Dermabond or Surgiseal or Histoacryl or LiquiBand that you can use. Can we all just move on now?

Better yet are you a surgeon? Ill be ur private scrub! Ps: i think she could wash with CHG and it would sting less. Thats approved and not alcohol based...and it smells nice.

How about you stop your bitching and use soap and water, put a tegaderm over it, and wear a glove. FYL though if you have any patients with MRSA or VRE. I wouldn't worry about C-Diff though. Soap and water works better for that.

Congratulations. No, kidding, hope it heals pretty soon. Can't you wear a bandage?

i used to work as a hopsital cook, if you havent covered that cut you need to be fired. 99% of kitchens have a "no open wound" policy, and it being a hospital i know it does. go see a nurse and get it taken care of, otherwise your putting people at risk
