You're not talkin about dettol are ya. I've got bettadine ointment at home (its a disinfectant). Plus I wiped it with alcohol wipes prior to plaster.

If it all turns pear-shaped, I've heard they can do marvellous things with big toes these days. And it doesn't even take too long to learn how to walk again.

This leaves me kinda speechless. how are children meant to respect police or even want to ask for help after seeing things like this. Off topic i know sorry.

Crack his nuts in a vice

Why did you try to bite the flappy bit of skin off? Auto-cannabilism, or some such weird thing?
That is truly gross. Human bites are notorious for infection...if you didn't need medical attention before, you do now. Get to the doctor and stop trying to be such a hard man!

Personally, I'd just HTFU.

I cut my arm off once. I finished the working day then went home for a wee lie down.

Pffft, that's nothing. Back in the 80's, I fell into a grinder and had both arms and both legs shredded off. This happened in a salt mine and the 5k walk home was on a gravel road. I made it home only to be attacked by the neighbours pit bull and I somehow avoided death by throwing both of us in front of a moving truck.

I returned to work the next day with 3 stitches on my lips caused by me trying to open a beer can with my mouth.
