CS = chainsaw
I'm a sculptor. While I have actually never had a trip to the ER caused by the saw itself, I have spend a lot of time outside and have had:
--8 stitches in the left hand from cutting labels off bottles for my bottle tree
--broken nose (w/4 stitches) from walking into a door, after dark, that was closed to keep the dog off the bed when he was shut up in the house during an outdoor show
--both knees sprained from dropping trees on them when setting up to carve
--allergic reactions to bee stings (the cellulitis kind)
--rabies shots when I broke up a dog fight between 5 pets and a stray, and the stray bit me.
--blood poisoning from stepping on a stick, barefoot, that came with my foot when I took the next step.
Never a dull moment when I check into the doctor's office.
That's just since 2000. Not counting the lightning strike that started the whole thing... but there wasn't anything medical they could do for that, except time.
And then there was the full arthritis workup after the third bout of anterior uveitis... pricy testing.
