Guess I'm hard headed

 Cut my finger this afternoon with an ulu cutting up some garlic for bean soup.  Not a long cut but I think it went to the bone.  Cathie insist I need to get stitches but I told her tape will work just fine.  It's now 6 hours later and I just about got the bleeding stopped.  

how much blood ya got left wes , chit happens don't it ,    

I'm like that. I hate stitches. Last bad kitchen cut I had took about that long to get the bleeding stopped.

The last time I got stitches from an accident I took them out myself and never went back.

It will heal a LOT faster with stitches .... might as well listen to her ... everytime you put your hand in your pocket you'll bust it open .... yes my friend ... you are hard headed ... just sayin'

Being right handed I'm thankful it was my left hand that got cut.  I can still use the clutch.

I did the same thing a few months ago working on the trunk of the Harley. Bout cut the end of my index finger on my left hand off. I was going to get some butter fly bandages to hold it together and then figured what the hell .... just get it stitched. Took 5 stitches and they were in for about 10 days. I don't have much feeling in it anymore but it healed up real purdy.

I like super glue.  For my cuts! Not what you were thinking!  

they make a medical glue thats  powder , just pour on the cut and it stops the bleeding , wife cut a blood clot that was sticking out on her leg and it was pumping blood like a water hose , I called the neightbor and 911 , neightbors brought down some powder super glue , it was medical super glue , it stopped the bleeding right now , I took her to er and the packet the glue was in , the er doc said she never seen that befor , but she smelled it and said it smelled like super glue , no stitches were needed , it was called [ celox] clots blood fast , don't know if it would work on deeper cuts , but good to have in first aid kits   

They also use stuff called Dermabond. It is liquid though. That stuff you are talking about Bill sounds cool.

don't they use something like this for wounds in the battle fields ,   

Yes they do.
