Stupidest Injury, you ever sustained Options

[Zelda_Zealot]

Heres one of mine. I was on my parents computer eating chips and went to try and kind of flick the salt off by shaking my hand. Now the computer desk has a door covering the computer and I had it open so it would not overheat (One little vent for a big black computer in a wooden box is not enough), it was open when I tried to "clean" my hand needless to say I am kinda clumsy, the back of my hand hit the edge of the door leaving a smilie shape brusiethingymabober. It did not break the skin but did hit a vein, so it started to bleed a bit inside my hand. Let me tell you, that is one hell of a creepy feeling . It felt like my hand was wet when it was compleatly dry... I started to feel sick and had to turn off Morrowind (GAR!!) and lie down. I almost threw up. So it really sucked... (Duh)

Don't worry though, its almost back to normal, just a small red mark on the back of my hand.

You guys (And gals) have anything you want to add?

btw ah bruise, or hematoma, occurs when a bloodvessel is broken underneath the skin .

my stupidest injury was like a week ago when the slammed m pinky finger in a car door.

umm i also broke my wrist when i was like 6.  playing on the monkey bars, playing chicken war with ym sisters,  needless to say a well palced kick to the chest i flew backwards and my wrist contacted perfectly with the edge of a slide.

basically it looked like this, a clean break.

the bone shifted afte they set it, becuase it was co lean of a break, so they had to rebrake the bone and set it a total of three times.

ahhh .....not so nice for a 6-year old to have his wrist broken.....3 times!!!

I did a stupid thing when I was working in a microbiological lab. several years ago:

In my department at that time (summer-job) we did the dishes of laboratory equipment such as test-tubes and stuff. So first we had to put the used tubes in a steel container, then pour water with detergent onto them and then putting the steel-pot on a gas-stove to boil the whole thing. After they´ve boiled for 10-15 minutes the hot solution had to be poured into another steel container with dirty tubes.
Well after being heated for 15 min. the steel-thingy was blazing HOT, so in order to handle it I used a couple of dry towels.......

When pouring I felt a tremendous heat on my left arm, but continued to pour...

When putting the empty steel-thingy down i discovered that my left sleeve of my protective clothing was completely on fire!...So I frantically slapped my arm to my leg and naturally the rest of my robe was set on fire......A colleague immediately ran to me and tore the robe off me and onto the floor extinguishing the fire...

But my arm! A huge blackish burn had appeared, smelling like barbeque ..but worse, so for 3 months I had problems with taking showers....among other things...

Ouch, I hate burns because in takes a while before you feel the pain.

Hmm, worst would have to be nearly spraining my ankle. I never got it checked out and after a while of sports and running, I get yearly pains that are almost crippling. I can barely walk with those pains and when they come, they don't leave for about four months.

Stupidest? Well, when I was about two, I put a toy's fist up my noes. I had to go to the emergencey room.

Another would be when I was swimming with a lot of friends, and we had been diving and jumping in. I heard "Oh my god! He's bleeding" so what did I say? "Who? What happened to him. I swim up to the edge and see some blood so I look over to my friend swimming beside me who had no blood on him. I rubbed my face because I thought I had some snot hanging out. My hand and face was covered in blood. Didn't stop bleeding for about three minutes and had so sign a form.
