Health Update

I’m finally home. The whole ordeal was 9 hours — IV, stitches, x-rays, the works. The cut was so deep, it cut into the bone. I’m too tired to go into the whole story but a hand blender was involved. On the bright side, I got to ride in an ambulance today. Woot?

Let’s talk about restaurant industry injuries and its presence in the ER now:

My room had a copy of Saveur magazine.
There was a line cook sitting in front of me who had sliced the skin off the dorsal side of her index finger. To my non-surprise, she will be back to work tomorrow morning.
The paramedics were trying to figure out if my injury was classified as “recreational laceration” or “industrial laceration”.

They must see a lot of cooks (and home cooks too —wahh). Despite all of his kitchen wounds/burns, Chef has yet to go to the ER but let’s hope that never happens.
