Went to work, had the vet clean it for me and was gonna have her glue it but she said she saw bone so I should probably see a human Dr and get antibiotics & they might want to see how bad it actually is so she probably shouldn't glue it.
Left work, went to walk in.
Dr: they said you cut yourself, you seem pretty calm, I see you wrapped it, did you cut your palm or something?
Me: nah it's my knuckle, figured probably should get antibiotics or something especially since it appeared to be a full thickness laceration... I had tetanus shot Aug 22 so we're good there.
Her: okay good on tetanus, let's unwrap....
holy cow that's clean, you cleaned that really well? How is it so clean?
Me: oh the vet scrubbed it
Her:
Me: oh I work in a pet store
Her: oooooohhhhhh. Wait, scrubbed?
Me: yeah, to make sure it was clean?
Her:
Is there numbness/tingling.... Can you fully extend and curl your fingers.
Me: no, no, yes and yes. There's just a dull throbbing there that recently started, wasn't a problem then. Plus vet chemicals are generally a bit more potent since their patients don't typically sit still.
Her: Fair..... And yes, I see bone. Sutures or glue? I'd trust sutures more but if you're adverse I feel comfortable letting you go with just glue.
So anyway, that's my fun story about sending the doctor on a rollercoaster of emotions.
