What a night.

Man tonight was a funny night. I am at work, its about 11:45 p.m. I work at wendys by the way and we close at midnight. so we are getting shit ready for close. This girl i work with was going to hang out in the parking lot and get drunk. So Im in a hurry to get out fast. Its all going well until i hit my elbow on the corner of a stainless steel counter thing. I didn't think nothing of it. but to be sure it wasnt bleeding i asked the girl to checke it out for me. here is how the conversation went:

Me: Check out my elbow Laurn.

Laurn: Your going to need stitches.

I thought she was joking until blood starting jushing down my arm. so i go sit down with a towle and try and stop the bleeding. She goes and gets the manager and i tell him what happened. He said I should be fine. But if it dont stop bleeding i'll need stitches. 30 minutes and 5 towles later they finish closing and it still hasnt stoped bleeding. My Manager called the store's General Manager and asks where to take me for stitches (cause the store has a certin medstation for their insurance.) he hangs up the phone. and calls me in the office. shuts the door and says: Now this is veryimportant. I'm like ok what. If we go and get this stitched up through workmans comp, Wendys requires a drug test....


oh shit..

me and my manager both know thats not gonna be happening. So i am left with the option of telling my mom what happened and ........why i cant use wendys insurence.


so i call home and tell moms what up. (went better than i expected) well she tells me to go to the emergency care and just give them my social security card and our insurance info will come up. well on the way me, my manager and laurn stop at a gass station and i realized my cut wasn't bleeding as bad. so we decide that in a last ditch effort before driving alllllllllll the way to the hospital we would try super glue... (im still looking forward to getting wasted btw.) Did'nt work too well so we went to the hospital. we get there and the docter said that the super glue will do just fine. no need for stitches.

FUCK FUCK FUCK...

Don't quote me on this or anything...but...I'm pretty sure that wounds (and, big...like, combat related ones) were one of the original applications OF superglue.

almost right..

Super glue was discovered during World War II when searching for a way to make synthetic gun-sights (a substitute for spider silk). They were trying to make clear plastic sights, but it did not solve this problem, since it stuck to all the parts used to handle it making the sight non-adjustable.

After they put it away for a few years and moved on to something else the guy who invented it apparently had someone get severely injured and no help was readily available so he used the glue to hold the wound together to keep them from bleeding to death. It worked so well, he ended up selling it to the military as a battledressing of sorts for chest wounds etc. Doctors today use it but in different chemical makeup than the original designed for medical use. The superglue jay used is probably just common household glue *strongest variety you can get* and he's lucky he didnt put too much on since during the curing/polymerization phase it could have very well bonded all the way to the bone leaving him with a VERY uncomfortable situation depending on how his arm was positioned when it took effect.

a lot of people believe it was designed for use in VietNam but in reality the military didnt technically "approve" its use for a battledressing, but since it managed to save lives they overlooked its use.

Again....How very interesting. Bonded straight through to the bone, eh? That would have sucked.

Iniquity, just curious, where did you learn all that?

aside from the fact that I snowboard, skydive, drag race, mud bog, 4 years active military service, misspent youth and an uncanny ability to get injured but no desire to seek a hospital for assistance. I just pick it up here and there.

Mental note, though it woulda hurt like a mother and a half *in a good way :D * he coulda pinched the meat and just stapled it with an office stapler too.
