Painful...Experience!


For the past few days , I was bored at work and nothing special things happened. So I had a such dumb thought..." wish for some excited things happen".

Unbelievable my wish was granted today. When I was working in the lab this morning, my right index finger was cut badly by a broken glass rod. I tried to push a glass rod through a holed rubber stopper. But the glass rod got stuck and could not move back and forth. So I used a bit more force... then the glass rod broke into pieces and my finger was cut wide open. The blood was coming out rapidly.

After a brief first aid treatment from my workplace, they drove me to the hospital emergency room to get stitches. During the two hours waiting period, the blood kept on coming out since the cut was very wide and the nurse kept on asking me to put the pressure on the wound by using my left hand.

When bearing the pain and the blood soaked through the gauze, I felt for my Savior who died on the cross for us. My little cut could not even compare with what He had gone through on the cross.

Finally, the doctor showed up and tried to sew the wound together. The painful part was... when he injected the " freeze" around the cut. It took six stitches to close the wound. After wrapping up with more gauze and getting a shot, I was free to go back to work for couple more hours.

So next time, you should be careful what you are hoping for....
