Bzzzzzz!

Not a long detailed post here today, but I saw something remarkable. A 32ish y/o male, working on a flooring project, sawed the back of his index finger from the base of the nail up to the knuckle by the hand essentially splitting it in two. Despite this, there was no major vascular damage, and all tendons were intact. 17 sutures later, and he was on his way home. This was the largest number of sutures the medical director had put into a patients finger before without having to repair tendons or arteries. And of course, like all good laceration patients, he came in about 10 minutes before we would normally close the clinic.
