Old Testament God.
Ya gotta respect his bit commit
Yeah, he did the whole show and that thing was pouring blood during the interview.
His old electrician is correct. Paper towel wrapped around the wound, wrap it with one layer of duct tape or gaffers tape and you're good to keep working. This is one of those 'everybody who's ever worked a trade knows it' type things.
Also anyone who grew up poor. Ain't no bandaids in the house but there's tp and electrical tape.
For anyone else coming along, hydrocolloid bandages once you have a moment to treat it.
Sliced my finger open, brand new razor blade, like a yawning mouth. Staunched the bleeding, wrapped a hydrocolloid bandage around it, bloody and dirty and all, good to go. Let it set for 2 days until the pain calmed down enough to re-wrap, showered, another hydrocolloid bandage. No antibiotics, nothing. 4-days, brand new skin, finger bends, no scar. And I'm 54, not exactly Wolverine.
I could sell those things all day long, best first-aid tech I've discovered. Nothing will heal a wound faster.
Yes, they cost way more than a regular bandaid, but you only need one, and you're healed fast. Generic is fine, but as usual, BandAid™ brand works best, better glue and easier to apply. I mostly keep the cheap shit, some BandAid™ for the 'special' wounds.
Superglue for paper-cut wounds! Yes, it stings for 20-seconds, grow a fucking pair, then it's over and healed in 24-hours.
Is this a ad?
The best advertising is word of mouth for good reason
Word of mouth was powerful when I was young. Products sucks? Everyone knows it. Now we have 20 products for niche needs. How can we sort that out?
Did you hear about any of those 20 products from someone else and can you ask that person about their experience with it? If so great, if not, know that 18 of them were made in the same factory and it really comes down to customer support anyways.
If I were advertising for BandAid™ brand, I certainly wouldn't mention cheaper alternatives. Learn some discernment.
If it is it worked.
Super glue is my go to. Just glue that shit right back closed like it never happened. Then some tape to make sure it stays closed through the day.
There is medical grade super glue, and I highly recommend using it over the standard stuff, primarily because the chemicals in regular superglue isn't great for your cut.
that article is a little funny. Dont use glitter glue to close up surgery. And dont hot glue yourself back together.
There is some difference in dermabond and superglue, one big one is fda approval. There is a toxicity difference, the fda product has a more expensive manufacturing process.
I will add, for me, I never glue a cut shut unless I know its clean. which means it is getting rinsed in a bath of rubbing alcohol. I have had great results myself. I am not a doctor or trained as one.
I believe that was one of its first proposed uses, but is too brittle (or breaks down too quick?) to be a "proper" medical solution.
Well, they've certainly worked out a proper solution since them. I had laparoscopic surgery and they didn't so much sew me up as calk up my holes and send me home.
Your choice of words is commendable.
Medical super glue exists! It has additional compounds in it to slow down the heating/bonding period and to add flexibility
I love stuff like this! I saw this on my radar recently, It’s gross but cool! Engineers create new glue that mimics mussels and mucus to prevent bacterial buildup
Now engineers from MIT and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a new type of glue that combines the waterproof stickiness of the mussels' plaques with the germ-proof properties of another natural material: mucus.
"Depending on how much cross-linking (chemical bonds) you have, we can control the speed at which the liquids gelate and adhere," Haag adds. "We can do this all on wet surfaces, at room temperature, and under very mild conditions. This is what is quite unique."
Cool. Actually, I think that is where I heard about the original formulas not being ideal. (My brain can store random factoids really well, but will always discard the source.)
Only took like 50yrs
I think you have to be very careful with that. My dog got a bad laceration one time, and luckily we were able to provide pressure and bring them straight to the vet which was close by, and while I was there I mentioned that I had thought about using super glue to close it, and they were mortified. Mortified. They said it would have made him extremely sick.
Apparently the glue they used to close wounds, which acts like super glue is very different than actual super glue.
Let it bleed for a while and clean itself out first though. Then some shop towel and electrical tape.
I don't usually watch late night American shows but can never skip this dudes rant clips. I wonder if he thinks of having a stab at politics or maybe his mission is just better serves as a show host.
The one time he got directly involved in politics, he berated Congress into covering medical expenses for 9/11 first responders. I doubt he wants to serve as an actual politician though.
Homes that's not a one-time thing. He's been fighting for that for years and still does.
He has said he has no interest or qualification for politics, that his role is as a comedian.
I think he's wrong. He is very qualified, as is Al Franken.
Al Franken was a great politician, one of the last ones to feel actual shame and remorse. Resigned because of a dumb joke whilst in the company of marines, should've stayed, but I bet he's happier being out of it 😥
Something Musk cut again. I'm amazed how despite doing stuff like that Republicans keep getting elected. Seems like an easy attack ad to cut.
There is no liberal media.
It's all been consolidated by the right, or rather, their rich benefactors.
I actually have this shirt. I think he would be really good for US politics, but I can respect that he also doesn't want to be involved (outside of his 9/11 activism, of course).
Wish he had just kept going and bled out on the desk to drive the point harder. Figured there were "rules" against showing blood on the broadcast. Heaven for fuckin' fend we see blood when raging against our fucked health care system. One CEO wasn't enough.
Acting has always demanded more than sweat and tears
Ow! 😨
when was the first time?
Watch the video, they show the first time - a clip from way back when John Oliver was a contributor.
The video is two minutes. You could’ve already had that answer.
I just saw that episode. Looked like it hurt but didn't know it was real!
How do you lacerate your hand on something that's not even solid?
Have you never held a glass mug?
I've never held an air mug that's for sure
How about a space mug
He actually cut it accidentally before from a ceramic coffee mug that broke
Yeah, must have been like a high speed stream of compressed air or something. Hehe.
