This just in . . . on Thursday in the early afternoon, our fearless, yet somewhat clumsy, classmate Andrea Cunningham managed to cut off the very tip of her middle finger. Although the pain was severe, Andrea made nary a sound as she applied pressure to her finger and made a beeline for the first aid office on the main floor. Upon returning to class, brave Ms. Cunningham donned a fashionable, blue latex glove and valiantly (and sanitarily) continued in her sandwich making duties. By 12:30 the throbbing wound had bled through its gauze dressing, thus forcing Ms. Cunningham back to the first aid lounge for further attention. Upon arrival, she was told to go immediately to the hospital for proper medical attention. Ever defiant, Andrea refused and insisted that she would head straight home to North Van for bed rest and Tylenol, after a short, shopping foray at Holt Renfrew.
Ms. Cunningham has stated on facebook that she "is saddened by the loss of her fingertip." We all wish her a speedy recovery.
(Note: the hand in the photo is not Ms. Cunningham's. It is a man's hand I found on google images. The bandaging, however, is very similar to the fine bandaging she received while in the care of VCC first aid.)

Was the tip saved for re-attachment or was it an addition to some lovely sandwich?
It was only the tip of her finger pad. The skin will grow back. As mentioned before, Andrea worked extremely sanitarily. No fingers were added to any sandwiches.
Ha ha! I love it!
