(These Histonet Halloween topics just keep getting better and better...)
I've cut my thumb on a cryostat blade a couple months ago - forgot to lock
the wheel while adjusting the specimen in the holder. Thank God it left an
intact (though rather large) flap of skin on one side, so no need for
sutures, just kept it compressed for oh several days. Yeah I've cut myself
on microtome blades prior to that as well, though not as badly. But then,
I tend to be an absent-minded clutz at times!

Yes, nicked the corner of a steel blade reaching for slide. This was
back in 78 or 79. It was a Saturday, working by myself and I had to wait
for 3 hours in the ER. No preferential treatment for employees in a
county hospital.

OK - time to poll - who has had sutures from microtomy? Me! 23

ago - 8 months pregnant, and not paying attention to what I was doing.
Oh
yeah, and one other time, I cut off the tip of my finger beta testing
a
microtome safety invention from EHS.

No offense, but if you're that prone to injury, I recommend steering
clear of microtomes in general ;)
