[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help, anybody with medical experience (urgent)

Posted: 12/9/2003 10:19:39 AM EDT

OK, I was up on the roof of my house putting up Christmas lights, when I slipped off (this was like, 10 minutes ago). I fell on a pipe sticking out of the ground and it kinda impaled in my chest, I think it hit my heart. Anyway there are squirts of blood shooting out like 5 feet. Oh ya my leg is all jacked up with bone sticking out, do you think it is broken? I was going to call an ambulance but I figured I would log on to ar15.com first and see what you guys had to say, since I value your wisdom over any professional medical attention I might be able to receive locally. Let me know how I should patch this stuff up... hurry though I'm getting dizzy.

Show me the results of your latest test for sexually transmitted disease. If it's clear, I'll be right over to help.

This thread is worthless without pics.

[#15]

I din't know about the Windex stuff.
Just rinse the area with CLP or maybe GunScrubber.
That will take care of it.

Dang-nab-it Rebel beat me to it.

The only time I have really seen Ed pop his cork was over the 15,000 "I hurt my thumb" threads that sprouted up. I think we got a new rule out of that day...

I call bullshit. This is a gun thread. the proper answer is Hoppe's. Hoppe's, paper towels and duct tape. Then get back to work.

Yeah and you can't use pre-ban stocks as splints. they gotta be post-ban. I know it sucks but until the AWB sunsets you gotta use post-ban stocks.

Extra points if you use a FIRS fore-end and do the 550 cord in a pattern.

Come on, guys, WTF. Didn't any of you see Rambo? Everybody knows you're supposed to fill the hole with gunpowder and ignite it to cauterize the wound. Sheesh. Friggin' amateurs [rolleyes]

Posted: 12/9/2003 11:42:16 AM EDT

[#29]

That's why I suggested gunscrubber.
I just forgot the match.

IBTL....Wooohooo...my first one!

This is the funniest thread I've seen in weeks.

Torch + duct tape worked great. I also found a site on a do-it-yourself transfusion so I don't feel so dizzy now (I'm assuming my dog has the correct blood type, as I don't feel any ill effects yet). One of these days I'll find out if doctors are all they're cracked up to be...

Posted: 12/9/2003 1:21:39 PM EDT

Whoa, this is serious. Ok, I suggest that you go into the kitchen and heat up some water and brew yourself a nice hot cup of STFU.

Be sure to warn your wife that if you sit in the middle of the street and start licking your own nuts, to just call the pound.

We need pictures to, uh, determine what needs to be done. [:D]

In any case

+1, IBTL, blah blah blah
