B had a mishap with a jar of salt that had become caked up, and ended up with a glass cut in the top of his foot. I was summoned to help deal with it, because it was taking a long time to stop bleeding and they were worried that it needed more advanced medical attention. It had slowed a lot by the time I got down there and I was able to stop it by pinching the cut together. (They had cleaned and disinfected it pretty thoroughly before Z fetched me.) I used some paper surgical tape (I think?) to hold the edges together, then added another thing on top and then wrapped around it with some other kind of plastic medical tape. After going back up to bed I was in a panic-state for a couple of hours (that time of night is great for magnifying every existential or financial worry into imminent doom, not to mention worrying that my repair-job wouldn't hold and I'd have to drive him to the hospital for stitches) but did finally manage to drop off.
