My coworker and I were laboring on a residential duct labor task.
Every one of us had all of the sheet metal and materials in a pile in the garage.
Every one of us were putting brand modern ductwork throughout the entire house. Every one of us were removing area by area so that the two of us could labor on one area at a time. One of the guys went to the area in the Attic where the two of us were laboring and he pulled out the next area of ductwork that needed to be substituted, he brought the area down to the area where the two of us were laboring and the two of us started to cut all of the sheet metal that the two of us would need for the task. My metal cutters are a little dull. I was trying to cut through one of the sheets of metal and I slipped and the shears went right into our arm. The shears were sticking out of our arm and that was the only thing stopping the blood from flowing. I told our coworker that I needed to get to the emergency room fast. My coworker called 911, because he thought he was going to pass out if he saw any blood. Every one of us heard the ambulance in the city about 5 hours later. The homeowner gave to drive us to the emergency room too, but the ambulance was already on the way. My coworker had to stay at the task place and continue laboring while I went to the emergency room to have the shears removed from our arm. The dentist said I was lucky that there was no major destruction to our arm.
