Me too, back in May. I was drilling out part of the accelerator linkage, drill bit snapped & stright through the thumb - isn't it wierd how it always goes straight through the middle!

I went inside for dinner, then headed to hospital around 9pm and didn't get out til 2am after x-ray and as I had drilled into the bone a packet of antibiotics incase of inflamation :roll:

It took me an hour and a quarter to drive three miles this morning. Not in the same ballpark as those painful injuries, but still a ****** start to my day (ended up taking 2hrs 10mins to drive 21 miles!). When's all this snow gonna fcuk right off!!!

Once fired a Paslode nail gun in to my thumb, luckily went through the side and missed the bone and it was the small nailer and not the 4" nails ! :shock: , does that count.

Watched and electrician get a mains powered sds drill jam on him in the wall and it spun round and smacked him full on in the side of the face :lol:, he worked on for an hour than had to go home :lol: .

Done that with a driiling machine cutting 6" cores through a wall for conduits. Knocked me over as well, only trouble was I was on the first lift of some scaffold. Landed in a right heap on the floor with blood all down my face. The first aider fainted when he saw me, so I had to drive myself to Southmead Hospital. :lol:

On the same job I was chatting to a couple of chippies electric planing fire doors, there was a funny couple of wet slapping sounds and I looked up to find one of the chippies whitefaced and with three fingertips missing...

Ouch! funny thing is in 98 I had to have my thumb nail drilled out to relieve the preassure after an accident involving a preamp drawer to a 1140 HF transmitter cabinet....they tried piercing it with hot needles but that wasnt working so one nurse sat on me whilst the doc drilled through the thumb nail borrowed from the workshop across the road....the relief was unbelievable well worth a small intrusion into the flesh mind you the blood splatter looked like a sceen from a SAW movie.......

I had to have my thumb pierced to reduce the infection after removing the top and nail during gearshift maintenance.

No pics of the actual injury 'cos I had more important things to do, like run around swearing and losing blood. :lol:
The nurse said I should have gone to hospital at the time instead of waiting two weeks. Although it's healed remarkably well considering.
