Was being dumb and a bit intoxicated camping and wasn’t following knife rules. Happened about two years ago. Pics of the surgical repair at a rural hospital by ER doc, and post healing at a few weeks and 2 years later. He did opt to use a patch from my medial palm to graft it “so you can have something of a fingerprint there”. Wouldn’t have gone to the ER if I didn’t nick an a small artery(arteriole?). X-ray said I barely missed the bone. Thought someone would find it interesting.
Oh and also, a little Fing chipmunk was nearby and as soon as my finger tip hit the ground he ran with it.
The doc did want to refer me to a hand surgeon a few hours away but I opted for this since I didn’t want to ruin everyone else’s trip with my stupidity. It’s numb in that one spot but otherwise fully functional.I got VERY lucky
