I was on a job with scaffolds and brick, getting off the scaffolds i stepped on some brick , that was wet , cause another worker was pouring water down to clean up the excess mortar and pieces of brick out the way , and he still had alot of brick under the scaffold and since it was wet I slipped a little and caught myself , but too bad my hand went down on a broken in half piece of brick , so the brick went into my hand about the width of a brick gash , grazed the muscle a bit.
Went ahead and went to the hospital where the job was and waited in the waitin room holding my thumb while it already wrapped from the boss man after about an hour i was called in get my paper work ready and then went to get it cleaned and stitched and everything.
at this point bone and half the thumb was still attached but had a mind of its own , like it would hang lose , it wa being held on by bone and skin but wasnt really helping , so doctors had to get in and clean out the dirt and they saw tiny pieces of brick in my hand that they couldnt really get to , they said that it would be easier and less risky to cut off my thumb and put it back on after it all gets cleaned out rather than cutting more of my hand to get to it , so they did that.
Im going to get pain meds from my boss man , because the hospital sucked , wrote me down as being a female on my wrist band and paperwork , didnt get my social security number or anything. So not even sure if have to pay at all , and since my boss man is my friend im not going to get him for workmans comp , if anything make him pay the bill straight out of pocket. Only help I got was numbing shots all in my hand which still hurt like a bitch almost had me in tears when thumb got cut off cause you can still feel the bone getting seperated from each other .. For all i knpw pain meds came after but we left
