Man Down!

Some excitement in the bar tonight with a guy who just seemed to attract trouble. First he managed to slice his hand open on a Stanley knife whilst trying to remove wires from a tyre. Why? Who knows? I stuck the small amount of tissue poking out of his hand back in to the hole and left him with a bandage. No hospital as the lac was really small and not even worth a suture.

Same human male arrives back about an hour later, this time having inserted said knife in to his leg cutting the aforementioned tyre. Fool. This hole is slightly larger, deeper, and seems to be in the region that joint capsules could be. Or they would be if he were a dog, cat or a horse. Who knows with humans? This one could do with proper medical attention so he got a HUGE bandage on his leg, as well as the one on his hand, as well as a call for a taxi. His girlfriend decided it deserved an ambulance, but I was pretty sure he didn't plan to bleed out in the 3 minutes it took for the cab to arrive. Ruined a decent pair of socks though.

The downside to all this avoiding proper work is the stupid amount of paperwork I had to fill in. I pointed out that we lacked sterile wipes as well as decent sized gloves, bandages that actually fit the human body as opposed to a horse/cow and various other bits of kit. I mainly used my own kit, which means I need to restock.

Lessons learned: humans should not be allowed sharp objects.
