We made an unexpected visit to Quick Care about a month ago. Ed was helping Steve with a woodworking project in our driveway/garage. Ed was using his planer to shave down some pieces of wood, and because they were in a hurry, safety procedures were sort of thrown to the wind. Instead of using a push piece of wood to move the wood through the planer, Ed was using his hand. The planer hit a knot in a piece of wood, throwing the wood and shoving Ed's hand down into the blade. He chopped up 3 fingers on his left hand pretty badly. There was blood everywhere! Fortunately he only lost a few chunks of flesh and some nails rather than fingers!! On our way home we stopped and got him a treat; ice cream and pain meds! He is healing up well, only wearing bandaids for protection now.
