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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 with any of the sharp tools, drills, or metals I work with. Just the soap dispenser. FML
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Hey at least you didn't cut your finger off, and are in the hospital to get it reattached instead of having to endure a little stinging sensation while working there.

Little stinging sensation? OP begs to differ.

Better then missing the finger entirely, I was trying to look on the bright side of things.

I am sure having to constantly clean your hands with disinfectant requires taking off your gloves and it would probably take off a band-aid as well.

That means you have at least 24 applications of hand disinfectant ahead of you. If you're not good at math, I'm here to help. Do you want me to teach you some swear words in Latin to scream when you squirt your open wound?

She just needs too spit on her hands to disinfect them. Then if someone comes in with a cut finger lit a fag and burn their cut with to cauterize it. ;) *I'm a real doctor

I'm sure docbastard has a quick solution to this problem

Yes I do - cyanoacrylate skin adhesive. There are various formulations that have been available in Europe for years.

If you don't have that, put a bandaid on and cover with tegaderm. Simple, waterproof, will last your shift. OP isn't a nurse (or else a new one) or else they'd know this, but ask one on the floor and they'll get you one. :)

Hmm cyan? Is that why dermabong n other liquid stitches/bandades are blue/purple?

"la la la, I'm going to wash the forks and knives. MOTHER ---!"

OP said "while cooling" not while doing dishes

Well when she washes the dishes the soap and water. Duh. Some people only read and not think. Ofc I know she was cooking. But she can also be cleaning

She got the cut while cooking. Then, if she naively goes to wash the knives and forks later, the cut will sting again like a "MOTHER ---!" It's a hypothetical situation that we didn't follow.
