 Remember kids... be careful with pressure washers.

 I used to work the phones for customer service for greenworks. I've seen videos on pressure washers cutting chicken lol. Ouch.  
 Woah! Powerful washer 
 Ouch…. 😬

 I think I would do a surgical stitch to the proximal ... 🧐 #DocChain 
 Thanks. It cut quick and clean like a razor, but it's not too deep. Felt a little sting, but honestly didn't notice I was cut until I looked at it. It'll be okay. Looks pretty gnarly though. 
 Superglue is on the table too 😄🪡🧵 
 Its fantastic but I think with pressure wounds, there can be slightly deeper damage. If I remember rightly, have to be a little more careful there 
 That's something really emphasised in training. You don't notice it often til after the damage is done. Good reminder for people. Hope it heals fast 🫂 
 💯 Thank you 🫂 
 Gnarly IS cool. I got scars and burns in places. I'm not a self harmer, honestly lol. I just get stuck in until a thing is done. Oblivious, and then I'm like "oh. Ooosie" 🩸 
 I see this a lot in the ED. Also with paint sprayers and other pressurized objects. I've seen people fill their hands with paint and motor oil. 
 I can only imagine. 
 How many sutures ??? 
 Not going to get any. Looks gnarly, but it's not too deep. It'll be okay. 
 People on the streets 🎵 
 Ow god Ava. Be careful. Might want to keep that covered until it heals. 

Also, I have seen pressurized water and sand cut through 4 inches of steel in a industrial setting  
 A pressure washer will blast a hole straight through a person.  
 Thank you. It'll be fine. Looks worse than it is. Indeed, pressurized water must be respected. 
 DANG! 😲 
 💯 
 Proof of work. 
 💯🫡 
 Super glue. Done. XOXO  
 Confirmo 😣 
 Ooooowwwwww 
 🫂 
 eesh, scary  
 damn. when i first saw the picture it reminded me of both of my thumbs that have scars in similar places to your cuts. i got mine from tearing apart old ass computers with sharp metal cases. 
 did this once with a sandblaster in construction when I was a teenager. Went through two sets of gloves and I had green ooze and sand coming out of my hand for almost a year lol 
 Oof 🫂 
 😬 
 Fancy doing that. What a dumbass. That's totally what I'd do too lol 🤣
