Fell off a roof support at the local pool (we sat there to get out of the sun) after a kid yanked my towel out from under me. I was about 11 and landed on my elbow. Used the pool phone to call my mom, my arms was shaking and I couldn't hold it still.
Mom had me walk to my aunts house about 1 1/2 miles away (up hill).
Aunt called my mom and said I was fine, just a elbow scrape. Decided to walk home, another 2 miles. Arm hurt so I went to bed bed early. Woke up for school and it was pretty swollen and hurt like shit. My mom decided to take me to the dr later that day, at least she let me stay home from school.
Broke my elbow and funny bone, hence the tremors. He reset it and put a cast on it. Normal shit, no one questioned it back then.
What truly blows my mind is the police actually responded.
"What mam, you have a special needs 6 year old that pointed her fingers at someone like a gun? We'll be right over."
I know nothing came of it but still. The proper response would have been to hang up the phone and go on with the day, but then again, no one wants a gun toting special needs 6 year old rampaging through the school.
I had a similar leg laceration that clearly needed sutures, but I got it doing what I was told not to do , and a beating would follow, so I let it heal by secondary intention..
In my area, we MUST respond to EVERY call for service. No matter how absurd.
Ive gotten called because a neighbor was throwing grass clippings onto the callers yard while mowing. Snake in a garage. Young child (under the age of 9) "out of control" and so many others, it's ridiculous. People call, we go.

Lived in GA for a while and the ER in the summer treated 30 kids each nite for glass lacerations in feet...seems they only wore shoes in school during the year . The folks were po'.
soaked them in betadine and gave a Tetanus shot, sent them home to soak in soap and water 4X/day. Never ever sutured the wounds ...only infection I saw in 2 years in the ER was when some dumb ass know it all intern sewed up a foot against orders/protocol

I got stabbed in college. Slash, not a deep jab.
A bunch of steri strips / butterfly closures and it stopped bleeding more or less.
It opened up a bit when walking around for 3 days
healed up just fine. Life in LA was fun in the 80s and 90’s

I have these now- possibly a huge upgrade to butterfly
I should have tried those before I drove myself to the hospital.......

That’s why I carry a few packs of sutures and a med/first aid pack everywhere I go.
Fuck all that shit. How about some REAL MOTIVATION?
Marching to that shit for four years by the Severn, I get a hard on every time I hear it.

Just turned the page on a 27 year career in LE...
Man I had almost the same thing happen, they had to open that hole back up and clean it, man o man did it hurt, took like 6 nurses to hold me down ( I was 10). Every night it had to be cleaned. Maybe I’m just a pussy but damn did it hurt

Its been a few years (about 7). I whacked my left pointer nice and hard with my old Estwing (was my grandads).
Board I was holding slipped. I was “tapping” it into place between some other boards and wanted a snug fit.
Took a C arm xray a couple days later at work, busted the distal phalanx clean in 2 pieces.
Had already drilled the nail to let a ton of blood out. Good times.....?
