You are already in the ER.

Pic shows IV pump in the pole. Probably also on medication for pain and given local anesthesia before they start pulling the drill out.

Give us some update.

Actually, you'd end up having your entire hand reattached.

You NEVER wear gloves when working with rotating equipment. NEVER.

Well, shit.

I guess I'd have to be FUCKING CAREFUL THEN! WOUDLNT I!???!

Doesn't look fun, but at least the bit looks fairly clean. .

Definitely looks clean; I don't see any bacteria on it at all.

Well, shit.

And by the time you realized you'd made a mistake, you'd lose a finger, or a hand.... or an arm.

I have to inforce this stuff in an industrial environment, and I've had people under me lose body parts. Trust me - if it spins and has torque, you don't wear gloves. A cut or a tear in your skin is far easier to fix than a partial or total amputation.

I put a drill bit into my calf muscle once. Fun times

Anyone else notice the big dimple/divot at the base of his thumb muscle. I wonder if the bit wrapped up some muscle in the bit causing the dimple.

While you could back it out and seal up the entry wound easily, I would want some sort of antibiotic to reduce infection.
I would probably go to urgent care and get prescription.
