19 years ago I bypassed a safety feature (gloves) because I was an idiot and ended up with some 2nd and 3rd degree burns on about 20% of my right hand due to a molten sulfur splash. Don't have any photos but the healing was extremely painful. Most of the scarring is no longer visible but the nerve damage is still there. Some muscle still twitches non-stop. It's ****ing annoying.
I've heard a lot of these stories.

My boss has a gnarly scar over half his right arm from boiling hot caustic rupturing from a high pressure line as he walked past.

Makes you think twice when you get to the accidental death and dismemberment portion of your benefits.

Update: In case anyone gives a ****


Workman's Comp Insurance gave me a check for $15,000. Better than nothing I suppose. The Dr.s say that my left hand is permanently 19% disabled. Doesn't really affect my job performance at this point.

Hookers and blow in Vegas. Who's with me?

I wonder how they come up with 19%? That is such a specific number.


I'm assuming $15K plus medical treatment related to injury past and present. What is it limiting you to now?


And what Plas said

There were a whole lot of measurements. How far my fingers can extend, how far each joint can bend, grip strength, sensation tests... I guess there's a whole code-book that they use as a reference.

But yeah, My medical bills have all been taken care of by WC. Surgery, hospital stay, ambulance, physical therapy, medications... probably came to over 70K. Every 5 years I go back to the Dr. for an examination to see if there's any new problem or if something else should be done.

As far as limitations, from a day to day perspective it really hasn't made a big impact, other than a ever-present discomfort. I can actually type fairly well all's said and done. But, I'll probably never play my guitar again with any level of ability. Obviously, I'll never be a rock climber.

I'll take a pic later but I have to get going to work. It isn't exciting. Pretty much looks like a normal hand but with a lot of ropy looking scars.

Sounds similar to Laurie. Her arm has plates in it at the elbow from her accident. One of them she wants removed. Insurance paid all bills except the helicopter ride to the hospital, which is 45k. They're going to submit through insurance again, but may come after us.

She has limited mobility with her hand, can't turn it all the way, but can do most activities. I look at it as the jar being 75% full. If your bills are paid and you can do most things, then you are lucky compared to others.

I worked at a place that attached a mag drill to a transmission jack so they could drill the bottom of cars. The safety feature was it could only turn on if attached to 1/2” steel so we just threw on a piece of 1/2” but it had an overhang. I was drilling like one of the 400 hundred holes and the bit got tangled up where the sheet metal was overlapped and the whole machine started swinging around under the car until the power cord got wrapped around it and pulled the plug from the wall. But that 1/2” plate came right past my forehead and I could only imagine what woulda happened had that thing split my skull open.

I've worked with mag drills on location against vertical surfaces on the side of I-beams, at the top of a ladder 20+ feet in the air. The drill probably weighs 50-60 pounds. My biggest fear was some jackass tripping over the power cord, or unplugging it to plug in something else at the source. Cause if that eletro magnet disengages unexpectedly... o'man... **** is going to get ****ed in a hurry.

After having many people file WCB claims for mag drill related injuries we put in twist lock receptacles and and had special extension cords made up to use with mag drills just so they couldn't be unplugged by accident.

The new Milwaukee cordless mag drill is the ****. No cord to **** with and they'll soon have the 12 amp/hr battery.
