R B S Inc · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

Clearing frozen mud to open a door, the bar bounced off, resulting in my middle finger on left hand getting caught between the bar and screen, pinching my finger. First aid applied at scale house. After hours wound "looked bad", went to family doctor, where I received 5 stitches at about 8:00 PM.
