Ouch. Table saw?
3" hole saw. The pilot broke and it went for a ride.

Damn, that's a difficult one to defend against. What would you do
differently next time? Did you have both hands on the drill motor?

You just said it. Keep both hands on the drill motor.

I like to use my drill press for that sort of thing, otherwise a beefy
1/2 inch drill motor with a side grip. You can still get hurt if the
the cutting edge locks up and spins the drill motor out of your hands
but at least it's not a nasty cut.

If I'm working, I'm bleeding. Seems like I can't do anything without hurting myself. Hope you heal quickly.

Isn't that the truth. I read somewhere that we bleed much easier because our skin
looses oil and little things tend to stick and tear rather than slide off. Pruning
azaleas without gloves causes significant blood loss.

I think he should see a doctor. At least for a tetanus shot. Mercer
would love to find an entry point like that.

Being a mechanic/electrical rebuilder, my hands are butchered daily. ...

I keep my tetanus up. I always have some kind of ding somewhere.
I clean with Chlorhexadine and dress it twice a day or more so I am
not really worried too much about it.
