Well, no offense, but Trusbx is a licensed MD so I think I would rather take his advice <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

>>Ironically, on a trip with a doc and his wife and some buddies we were climbing a razor wire fence to access a killer climbing spot and the wife cut her hand pretty bad. I was the only one with a first aid kit and the only one that stepped up to treat her.

I've been told that a lot of MDs will defer to a trained First Aider in a first aid situation as not all doctors are trained or current in First Aid techniques and are more used to treating patients in a hospital or medical clinic, where they have lots of trained staff and specialised equipment.

>>Sat her down, calmed her down, cleaned it very well and then the old wound closure strips and superglu.

Again, please don't take offense but I would have just used gauze and tape, probably some roller gauze to keep the dressing in place, and probably achieved just the same effect.

I'm not sure that finishing the climb would have been my main priority, either <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
