I was on a good tear prepping a big dinner for friends, talking while cooking, drinking while talking and OHFUCKIJUSTSLICEDOFFACHUNKOFMYTHUMB.

Immediately only a speck of blood and I found the bit of thumb I lopped off so it didn't end up in the mushrooms I was slicing very thinly. Then things got leaky pretty fast from two little capillaries I had neatly sectioned. I grabbed a paper towel and ran to the bathroom with a big box of first aid supplies turning down the stove on the way out and taped everything up tight after a relaxing douse in rubbing alcohol then iodine.

Coming back to cooking I was distracted to say the least. I can't stand cooking wearing gloves. I keep getting the flappy ends of the gloves right where I'm trying to dice. I figure a pro has to soldier on and keep working after they can stop the bleeding. Any tips for working effectively despite bloody fingertips?
