Similar thing happened to my Dad. When I was about 20 or so (10+ yrs ago), still living at home with Dad, he wanted me to help him cut down some trees out back. I was reading the paper, and told him I'd be out in a few minutes when I was done. A little bit later, he comes in the back door and says, "I think I need a hand here."
I casually got up and replied, "Ok," thinking he meant with a tree. Then he says," I cut myself with the chainsaw," very nonchalantly. I was thinking "WTF?!" and ran to the back door, where he was standing with his hand trying to hold the skin on his leg/knee together.
I comment that I thought he should go to the hospital, but he hates doctors and refused. So, we cleaned it off the best we could, and wrapped it in bandages, and then he was back outside cutting down trees. He has a huge scar down the front of his leg.
