OUCH!

REPOST!

TOTALLY kidding! hehe

Good one!

how the hell did my post came out like this?

MomE any idea why they didnt just cut that piece of skin and just life that bugger out of there?

Vlood sweetheart, my first thought is IDIOT! would have been so much easier, and less stressful for the guy. fYI if there is ever a question that something like that has penetrated a major vessel, as much as it’s against our nature. LEAVE IT IN! until medical help is available. I seen a child step on a nail, the father naturally pulled it out. Well, that nail penetrated an artery, it looked like old faithful! The nail was “plugging” the hole! wrap it in cold clean cloths, so it can’t be seen, keep him calm as possible and off to the E.R. you go..

Your certainly right Jack, we have admitted pts with wounds of that nature, They included the carpals and tendons ended up with referrals to the OP therapists. I just can’t see why he couldn’t break that piece of wood in half horizontally. On the other hand,maybe they enjoyed taking the long way around..LQL

I got a big hunk of wood stuck in my hand once in the same spot but not nearly as big as that one. It hurt like hell! I did it when I was trying to throw a piece of firewood into the woodstove. I wasn’t paying attention and the corner of the piece of wood caught on the edge of the door to the stove. My hand slid down the cut side of the wood and voila! A splinter the size of a pencil. Pain meds are a good thing! (I had flashbacks watching this video)
