' Wrote:Uhm... Got a scar in my eyebrow which has a fairly interesting story... I was playing a show in a bar with the band I used to be in (we sucked...), and the guitarist had a slightly broken headstock on his guitar. He turned around mid-show, standing close to the drumkit, and somehow managed to slice into my eyebrow, which bled heavily and left a scar.
I think the question all of us want to know the answer to is, did you keep playing?
If so, that's ****ing awesome.
I've lived a relatively luckily life in regards to injuries. Despite all of the crazy stuff I've done, I've come off relatively unscathed xD
Knocked myself out for a few minutes by falling about 2 meters off a playground when I was in primary school. Was otherwise fine.
Sliced open my foot on a rusty bar of metal, had quite a few stitches.
Ran into a piece of corregated iron in the dark, stitches in two seperate cuts on my forearm.
I had scars ontop of scars on my knees from falling off bikes onto a metal driveway. They've mostly healed now.
Never once broken a bone despite some of my crazy falls, including being thrown out of a moving shopping cart as it rolls down a hill. Several times. Got hit by a car once, but it wasn't moving that fast. The car suffered more damage when I kicked the side mirror off.
I fell on my head from 2 meters when I was 2 years old, got a really nice bruise.
Got my ankle stuck between a bike's fork and the rear wheel when I was 4. Got away with another bruise.
Through an unknown rotation, I fell off a cement border when getting off my bike when I was 8 years old. Fell in the ditch right underneath it. Although the ditch wasn't deep, I hit one of the rusty metal sieve meant to keep rocks from falling in. It went through my tibia's skin and literally scratched and grinded on my bare bone until I reached the ground. As a result, I've got a mark that looks like the Nike logo, and I can't do any activities that put a large amount of pressure on my left foot, like soccer and running.
Cracked my right thumb in a fight 2 years ago. The only 'fracture' in my life.
One weekend me and Primitive went out to have some fun. End up drunkard. From than we both dont remember what happened.
Next day I wake up in wrong building painted with my own blood. Lucky, I manage to come home.
After few hours of sleeping Primitive call me:
Primitive: Dude, what happened last night, I cant remember anything!?
Me: Maaaan... I wake up in wrong building, in my own blood pool. Dont ask me anything!
We was trying to figure out what happened that night, but without any clue.
I guess that will be mystery and we will never find out.
I think this happened to me: I miss my building and while I was going upstairs I slipped and hit with my head somewhere. K.O.
I will talk about this to my grandchildren. Epic night in Croatia.

I was about to make a very very very wrong comment about the pool of blood and being drunk! Easy on the Rakiya man!
In high school, while changing a light bulb in the menu board at the McDonald's I was working at, my finger slipped and hit the contacts in the socket. As luck would have it, my other hand was on the metal part of the bulb, who's other end was in the socket on the other side already. Turns out those bulbs were a sort of high-voltage commercial bulb. That hurt, badly. I dropped an f-bomb while getting electrocuted (for obvious reasons). When I was done getting shocked, I was a bit out of it, and shaky all over. My manager's response? "I should write you up for the language." Jerk....
Later, at another restaurant job, we had just gotten a new shipment of metal pans for the prep station. The edges on those are sharp when they're new, and there were two pans stuck together. Me and another employee had to both pull on the pans. He held one, I had the other. When the pans came apart, the top pan sliced into the knuckle on my index finger, cutting deeply enough for me to see white. No stitches, just clamped down on it until it stopped bleeding, then kept a band-aid on it for about a week or two until it healed on it's own. Again, the manager didn't suggest I should see a doctor or anything.....
At the same job a couple years later, I was using a brand new pizza cutter, and wasn't paying attention to where my other hand was. I ended up rolling right over my thumb, and got another deep cut for my trouble. Same as before, no doctor, just applied pressure until the bleeding stopped, and kept a band-aid on it. Keep in mind that nobody helped me, and I had to do my own first aid on it.....
The most recent one was at my current job (yet another restaurant job). I was cleaning out the fryers. When you drain them, they have to be up to cooking temp, so the pump can move it back into the fryer when you're done scrubbing. If the oil is too cold, it gets thick, and the pump can't move it. Anyway, I had used a metal pitcher to remove about a pint of oil to use to rinse the debris on the fryer walls down the drain and into the filter. Well, in this case, our heat-resistant apron was damaged and unusable, so I wasn't wearing it. As luck would have it, the pitcher slipped from my grasp, and I spilled 350 degree farenheit cooking oil all over the front of my shirt. Got a really nasty burn out of it, covering a good bit of my chest and side. I was issued a clean shirt, and they handed me a can of burn spray. Again, little concern if I was OK, and no suggestion that I should go to the doctor.
Hmm. Was playing basketball, and after throwing the ball at the hoop, I kept watching it, wanting to see if I scored whilst running at nearly full speed. I didn't see the pole and hit it with my head at nearly full speed. It knocked me out for a few moments, but I was so confused after it happened I just got up and wanted to play on... I opened the wound when checking how badly it was though... Got quite a few stitches but the nurse said it's a damn miracle I didn't crack my skull. Apparently I have strong bones. Which might be the reason I never broke any of them.
Lost count on the number of sprained ankles and the like...

Maybe I should find a new line of work?
Speaking of getting electrocuted, I managed to stun lock myself on a regular 110v socket. Didn't really hurt all that bad, and it was only going through two fingers of one hand, so I got out of it fine, but it felt wierd as hell. Also scary.
Yes, you should find a new line of work. Fast food doesn't care about people.
P.S: don't heat up beanbags on lamps. Almost burned the house down that way once.

Wow you guys all break easy.lol.
1/ drop 40pound rock on hand,tore all the skin,muscle off to bone,but did not break.
2/ Did a really stupid dare and jumped a 20 foot pile of gravel on 1 of those old bikes with shocks that look like dirt bikes. Landed on face. cuts,and scratch's,and a minor concussion.(back when real men did not wear helms.)
3/ Had head on collision in a mountain bike race. Both bikes were mangled,other guy 4 broken ribs,fractured neck,broken arm. Me bruised pretty much all over,but no injuries.(back when real men didn't wear helmets)
4/ Sliced thick park of my leg open from front to back with a razor knife. bled for about 18 hours,but continued to work.(too stubborn to get stitch's)
5/ Hand crushed in CNC router. Tendens,nerves,muscled ,and bone crushed,but did not break. Popped back to full thickness after a few weeks.
6/ separated muscle's from shoulder joint catching a 200 pound speaker cabinet falling off assembly line.
7/ tore all the ligiments out of my ankle 2 times. Swelled to size of a grape fruit.
I do not! Every one of my injuries ended up healing just fine without a doctor's help, and that was with me doing all my own first aid and treatment. Hurt like hell in each case, though.
