Grace的進修雜記:)

This morning I accidentally cut myself when I tried to open a metal can at home.

My first step was to rinse it with running water just to clean the cutting area. Later I took a piece of paper towel and pushed hard  to give a little pressure on the bleeding area. Hoped to stop the bleeding.

I felt a little scare after I put a bandage on it.

Luckily the student health and counseling is open and I can easily walk in to ask for help.

The staff got an appointment for me to see a nurse right away, and then the nurse asked an available doctor to check on me.

They wanted to double check if I needed to have some stitches on the cutting area. Therefore, one more doctor, a medical professional provider, came to join on the discusion of treatment plan. They made sure that my right thumb can bend or push well. No stitches need to put the layers of skin back together. I got the Tetanus vaccine before the doctor put some strips on the thumb. The doctor pour some brown  liquid on the thumb, so the strips can stay longer. She then covered the area with a telfa pad finished with bandages and double secured with some blue tape. The doctor gave me the color choice on red or blue, and I chose the blue one to describe my mood.　

今天早上，當我試圖在家裡打開一個金屬罐時，我不小心割傷了自己。

我的第一步是用流水沖洗它，只是為了清潔切割區域。後來我拿了一張紙巾用力推，給出血部位一點壓力。希望能止血。

自行包紮後有點怕業餘的我沒有處理好，因為隱約還是有看到滲血。幸運的是學生健康和諮詢今天早上是有開放的，我可以很輕易地走進去尋求幫助。

工作人員為我及時預約了看門診，然後護士先讓我將傷口上的包紮拆掉後再請有空的醫生來確認處理的方式。

因為不確定上次打破傷風的時間，再加上他們想仔細檢查我是否需要在割傷區域縫針。

因此，又請了一位剛好有空醫生來協助，他一位骨科醫療專業提供者，前來參與治療方案的討論。

他們確保我的右手拇指彎曲良好。無需再約時間進襲縫合（將皮膚層重新組合在一起。）

在醫生給拇指貼上一些有點拉力的細長片之前，護士為我接種了破傷風疫苗。

然後醫生將一些棕色的液體倒在拇指上，這樣膠條可以保持更長時間。然後她用小紗布覆蓋該區域，並用繃帶包紮，並用一些藍色膠帶雙重固定。
