Cut finger ~ would like advice!
I bake in a pro kitchen but was cooking at home when I cut my finger. You're absolutely right ~ I see lots of chefs wearing duck tape around their fingers! I've got plenty of de rigor burn scars, but this is my first bad cut. Blech. And you're right - clean and dry are seeming pretty impossible right now. Doctor gave me a tetanus shot and said to glove up until the nail bed grows some new skin. The nail itself will grow back in a month or two.
Cut finger ~ would like advice!
Thanks for all the great advice! I tried changing the bandage this a.m. and found it firmly adhered. After soaking/tugging to remove it and getting a better look, I decided that a tetanus shot might be a good idea. It's a clean slice ~ very gross ~ but it's been a long time since my last shot and I've got a nasty sheet pan burn that's three days old on the forearm of the same arm. (Yes, it's been that kind of week!) So, killing several birds with one stone, I've made a dr appt for later this a.m.
Again, thanks for all your very helpful comments and well wishes!!!

Eeek! I was really hoping to avoid the ER. But I'm starting to think a tetanus shot might be a good idea ~ it's been a long time. Thanks!

The splint is a great idea ~ thanks! I was starting to wonder how, exactly, I was going to keep the wound from getting bumped and reopening all the time at work (pulling sheet pans out of the oven, lifting pots, etc.). Tomorrow is my first day back at work with the fingertip bandage, finger cot, and glove, so I'll throw a splint into my knife kit and hope for the best. Thanks, again, for the great tips.
