Last night I was cutting some chicken to cook, and I slipped and totally cut my finger. I thought it was cool. The knife went in where you can see the cut, kind of reflected off the bone and then went a bit to the side (it is hard to see in a picture). Anyway, the cool thing is that it cut the nerve that supplies that part of my finger, so I have no feeling, it is awesome. I can tell if I am touching my finger, but I can't tell the difference between lightly touching the finger and pressing in real hard with a knife! It is kind of fun. Mark, remember in school where they taught the innervation of the hand. They were totally right. I got the ulnar nerve, and I can completely tell where the ulnar picks up, and where the median and radial nerves start. It is pretty cool.

That looks pretty bad Scott. I really appreciate how you share all these interesting pictures with everyone, Brittany's foot, your finger...just keep 'em coming. Did you go to the doctor or anything?
Dr.??? Is that the thing that costs money to go see??
Scott-first I'm impressed that you are cutting up chicken to cook, next I'm impressed with all the nerve talk.
The cut itself looks pretty nasty though. Take good care of it.
Isn't the body amazing?! That's a pretty sweet cut. It's great to see that your applying your tuition money and knowledge already in your career. Nice job, Scott!!
