When I brought my finger through the idling engines prop, I was only a mile from the hospital. I threw everything out of the way and was at the ER in less than 5 min. They immediately got all my insurance information and I sat there in a cubical for 4 hrs before they sewed me up. I guess it didn't really make any difference? I had called the ER that I was coming and they were looking for me when I got there.
While waiting, I called my wife to meet my friends at the flying field to get my junk. They had it all gathered up and packed away in my truck by the time she got there. One of them drove my truck home and after she took him back to the field, she came to the ER and eventually took me home.
Errr just be careful, I'd like to keep seeing you around at RCU. Trying to type on the computer with a sliced hand is not fun... hard to build a plane too.
It's amazing how much blood we can loose. That guy I wrote about was nasty. Plane... Prop and clothing was covered in blood, not to mention his car needed to be cleaned as well.
