I've often wondered something that maybe you can answer as a medical professional... What one word adjective would you use to describe a wound with purulent drainage? Pusy?purulent drainage (pus) or has an abnormal odor

Got my finger chewed up with a router bit. Didn't go to doctor, no meat to stitch up to. I just cleaned it up, kept it clean and bandaged for a few weeks till it skinned over pretty good. Although I didn't go to doctor, I do have EMT training and several family members are RN's and GP's, so I was pretty well covered. Main thing is to keep any wound clean and dressed.

The correct term for the exudate would be ‘*****’; if there is also blood mixed in, it would be ‘bloody *****’.

Many moons ago a group of friends and a keg found our way onto Crystal Beach. As many of you well know, beer doesn't take too long to find its way through your system, and I found myself trotting over the dunes to find a place to recycle it. On the way back to the keg, I mean my friends, my leg went straight through an old rusty 55 gallon drum that was 90% buried in the sand. On the way through, it opened up a nice 2 inch clean incision on the back of my calf. Interestingly (at least to me) there was very little blood despite being opened up pretty well. The cut thankfully was not deep at all, just enough to open the skin. I really should have got stitches, but I just taped it up good enough and left it alone. It healed nicely with no infection and no tetanus, thankfully.
Well, clean enough then.Laceration I doubt it was clean
That's the exact reason I don't do wood work. I tried my hand at a cabinet shop. I was the drawer dude. I made it all. Cutting a sheet of drawer bottom on a 3hp table saw. It kicked back. I was wearing overalls at the time. I stood a chance of that basturd cutting my guts.
I bet you're still doing woodworking too. Respect but fu¢k that $hit. I'll stick to somewhat dull metal.
