speedytriple Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ya wuss just bite the string to break it then rip out with teeth. I suggest a few shots of something before you try this. Then dump a shot over the finger to keep it all clean like. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I opened up a finger like that once just used some super glue and steri strips to close it and it healed fine. Left a nice scar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hmmmmmm.......my job job is to maintain and repair those buggers, where might your Wife work?She is doing her last clinical rotation at OSUMC and will be working there after she finishes her licensing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingingchic Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I sliced off a portion of my finger tip with hedge trimmers.... I too avoided follow up. I cut out stitches at 10 days when I was able to see that no blood was oozing from the slice keep it clean so you don't get infected and need to go back. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad place for her to settle, especially when the new hospital is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFlash Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) So are you an EMT, ER Nurse, Doctor, PA.....or have you just stayed in a Holiday Inn Express a few times? It was a Motel 6, thank you very much. I've seen stiches left in for ten days. They had to painfully be scrubbed to get them out. But, it's not my booger picker that's all sewn back into something that looks sort of like a finger..

cOoTeR Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Stop being a pussy and just pull it out yourselfHow did this go ignored? Bet this isn't the first time you've used this line huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It was a Motel 6, thank you very much. I've seen stiches left in for ten days. They had to painfully be scrubbed to get them out. But, it's not my booger picker that's all sewn back into something that looks sort of like a finger..Motel 6 has bedbugs!!!! And somebody having an issue after 10 days like that is rare at best, like I said, mine were in for 3 weeks and they had no problem getting them out. My wife being the expert that she is, says time in has allot to do with the location and the wound channel being stitched up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 14 days. Clean your snips good with alcohol Then soak finger in water for 5 mins or so, pull out of water, dip in peroxide for a few seconds, snip all stiches by the knot, rub neosporin on the cut ends you'll be pulling thru then grasp the knot with clean tweezers and pull out. Rub a lil more neosporin on the area and cover it for the night. That's what I do anyway. Your mileage may vary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks Todd! I'm going to wait 14 days and pull them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 My wife being the expert that she is, says time in has allot to do with the location and the wound channel being stitched up.That's why I suggested the butterfly closures, to keep it supported for another 4 days or so..

Steve Butters Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Day 12...just took them out.. Noticed they were really loose and not doing anything anymore.. So I put some neosporin on them and snipped the loops with nail clippers and pulled them out.. Slid right out, didn't even feel it.. Definitely not as bad as expected lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
