And now the story you have been waiting for... My Thumb.
^_^
Yea so Pocky cut his thumb last Friday. I was taking apart this CD drive. It was something I had done before but this time, as I was pushing out a piece, my thumb slipped and made contact with the metal frame. So basicaly I had a cut, but it was pretty deep and scarry since a lot of blood was coming out. I called our resident health worker ( Thanks Carrie! ) and we went to the university medical center. The doctor at urgent care took a look at it and then told me that I would have to go to the Emergency Room at the bigger hospital because it was so deep. =o . Everyone at the medical center is very nice by the way. So then they got me a cab to the city hospital, where I waited 3hrs at the ER. But that is actually a very good waiting time because the average is 6hrs, and I did meet a woman who had been waiting for 6hrs. So I get in finally, the doctor (funny guy named Bob) takes the bandage off ands its still bleading. He explains to me that he will have to make an injection so he can stich up my thumb. This is actually the only part that hurt. The injections I mean. The cut itself did not hurt. So in the end I get 10 stiches.... now it is very hard to write and I mostly eat with my left hand. I was going to say more but my left hand is tired of yping. I'll add links below if I have time. Class now!

Was this in the alta bates (sp?) hospital? You mind posting later how much it ended up costing you (once you get the bill)?
just curious how steep was my bill (relative to others)...
wow nevo, so you are a SF local. Yes it was at the alta bates in berkeley. Will post when I get it.
thanks.
BTW, not a local, just a frequent visiter.
