Lab experiment VS Student

On tuesday april 28 2009 I was at home conducting my experiment for english comp with research. my emperiment was on solubility. in my particular experiment, i was using pure cane sugar and seeing how fast it dissolved in 3 different types of temperatures. I was using cheesecloth to drain water off of cup and to measure remaining sugar. To cut the cheesecloth which was 12 x 8 into 3 different pieces i used a automotive razor blade to cut it. meanwhile, while i was cutting the cheesecloth using the sharp brand new razor i was paying more attention to my little boy and cut the tip of my finger nearly off. I was bleeding severly but continued to finish the experiment so i could conduct a complete lab report. Immedietely following i rushed to emergency room. When walking in ER i was instantly took back where i was placed in room and set up to stiches. i received 12 stiches in my finger. They had to repair my nerves in finger which were damaged during accident. It was a memorable event that I’ll never forget…. so in conclusion to my story, if using sharp objects always pay attention and use caution!!!!!!!!!!!!!
