Well i've been using power tools to build stuff recently. and i play guitar, so i want to know what you guys think i should do if i cut off a finger. i would take my finger, put it on some ice, because i know you can re attach it for at least 5 hours, i would probably call the hospital, i would see if i could have them guide me through the procedure of re attaching it. hahah, what would you folks do?

id freak out, i play guitar too, and i need all of my fingers, well...alot of them, if it was my right hand like..any finger but my index and thumb i could manage and remain calm, otherwise, id flip and drive 120 MPH to the nearest hospital, and, they better hope they find a way to fix it or ill go crazy...but in all reality, it makes me more careful, im realllly careful with my hands...i value them highly. =].

If its a small cut i will just wash it in cold water then i will apply coconut oil in some case and if am short of coconut oil i will go for turmeric powder mixed with a little bit of water make a paste then apply if i don't even have turmeric powder will go for band aid... suppose the cut is big then i will wash with water then clean with cotton or just dip the cotton in water and clean after that will go to doctor to fix them

i read that you are not suppose to put water on the finger after it has been cut off because it will shrivel up and will complicate re attaching.
