Longjohn ★ Posted September 11, 2018 Share #6 Posted September 11, 2018 I had the end of my ring finger dangle a bit after an industrial accident. The company doctor sewed it back on. It took several years to heal. It's almost normal now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted September 11, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2018 Almost. It was sewed back on by a corpsman. That was all the medical attention it got till I was back on US soil and because of that it took almost a year to heal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a lot of blood. I have the same table saw in my basement now - I think of that incident every time I use it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My finger also was broken in three places and the company doctor splinted those and got it right. In hindsight I should have insisted they take me to a real hospital but I was an 18 year old kid, what did I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted September 11, 2018 Share #10 Posted September 11, 2018 Only the tip of my left pointer finger. I have shared the story before.

We had a lot of people nick-named "Lefty" and "Righty" there. Funny stuff, Jer. My best mate, who is tragically close to the end of his life with pancreatic cancer damn it and bless him, worked in Birmingham, our home town, for Cincinnati, and visited its home city twice for extended training in new machinery and techniques. The main thing he remembers about those trips were the brakes on the huge cars he hired, they only had huge cars he said, he’d have trouble not standing them on their nose every time he applied the brakes. He was only used to Ford Escort Mk1s and Cortina Mk 1s and Morris Minor Travellers, small by American standards, with pretty basic braking.

pedalphile Posted September 11, 2018 Share #12 Posted September 11, 2018 I have all mine, which is great, and maybe a minor miracle considering the sports I’ve played and the messing with wood that I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted September 11, 2018 Share #17 Posted September 11, 2018 Got all mine. A lot of coworkers however... Fo2 had a dealer/installer named Ralph. Ralph was a rural guy, farmer, machinist, house builder, car repairer, pool installer (dad's), etc., and was missing the tips of about 3 different fingers due to various mishaps. Anyhow, Ralph and his dimwit helper (DH, ? )were building a house and had a table saw running. Of course, the table saw was without a guard, cuz that safety shit prolly just slowed Ralph down. The helper unplugged the saw while it was running and Ralph, not hearing the spinning blade (prolly due to a lifetime of loud work without wearing earplugs, cuz, you know that shit just slowed him down) set his hand across the spinning blade, thus removing the 1/2 of each of four fingers. Effectively, Ralph could now count to about 6 &1/2 without removing his shoes or pants. The next day at the hospital, DH comes to visit & says, "Hey Ralph, I brought you sumthin." and hands Ralph a small paper lunch sack with, I kid you not, Ralphs's fingertips. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted September 11, 2018 Share #19 Posted September 11, 2018 Caught the end of a finger in a punch press. It was holding on by a little flap of skin, but there was a nerve still there, so doc sewed it back on. Did a crappy job, 40 years later there's still a huge divot, the nail is constantly getting screwed up, I have little feeling there. BUT, made it back from the ER in tome for the last hour of the company Christmas party, so it wasn't all bad. That's what started me playing guitar. Couldn't play piano or banjo til it healed up, but I could hold a guitar pick in the leftover fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted September 11, 2018 Share #20 Posted September 11, 2018 No, but my uncle has, lost them all at the first knuckle from the finger nail in a sickle blade mower I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted September 11, 2018 Share #21 Posted September 11, 2018 I had a coworker who lost part of his finger to a snow-blower. He turned it off to clear a blockage. After shutting it down, the cylinder still enough compression for one more rotation and it chopped his finger. The same thing happened to Joe Sakic of the Colorado Avalanche.
