I broke my thumb with a double-jack installing a hinge pin on a Cat loader. I knew it was messed up pretty good but I kept working. Wife freaked when I got home :lol: she was medically trained. Besides being broken it had 2 1" long ruptures in the flesh requiring stitches. When the ER doctor is done he says "I want you to soak this in hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes every day." " Should I be worried about an infection?" I ask. "You'll see when you come back next week to get those stitches out." I should add every nurse in the place came in and took my thumb out of the cleaning solution to get a look at it :lol:. I go to get the stitches out a week later. Doc unwraps my thumb, checks it out we start talking some unrelated topic, few minutes later "Well? Did ya feel that?" "Feel what?" "Feel me takin' those stitches out?" I didn't even know he had started taking them out, let alone know he was done :realcrazy:. "That's why you soaked those in peroxide everyday. Peroxide eats the scabs that form over the stitches." " :thankyou: Doctor. I never felt a thing." Funny, every other time I've had sutures, first thing Dr says "Don't get them wet!" :realcrazy:
