Infected hand? This kid could lose his life. Kirshner wires are pins about 3 inches long. They are put in the hand at strategic locations to aid in the healing of a fractured bone. I’m amazed he was able to pull them out by himself with pliers and no numbing agent. These pins were holding bone together. When he pulled them out, he did a lot of damage. After all, this pus was the result of only one or two days post pin pull. I wouldn’t be surprised if the infection has already infiltrated the bone itself. If that is the case, he looses a hand. If he doesn’t seek immediate medical attention NOW, he may lose his life. The normal looking skin is mearly hiding the devastation brewing in his hand.
This craziness is a YT phenomena that is running rampant with young men. To see the crazy, stupid things these attention seekers are doing, just look up ‘nut shots’. Or watch in amazement as a self described redneck, breaks his back trying to do an Evil Kneivel by jumping a rusted out old Winnebago. No helmet, seatbelt, or roll cage. These type of stunts go on every day. A kid can make a thousand dollars a month through ad sense. All they have to do is jump off a two story building and survive. The worst part is the parents, who sign a release paper for their under age child, absolving YT of any responsibility. Is this the price of a free internet highway? I don’t know the answer. How do you stop a young teen from damaging himself permanently? And it’s not just here in the Western World. No, this phenomena is world wide. Teens in Saudi Arabia are drifting their cars at 150 mph on crowded freeways. Many loose control and are thrown from their vehicle and pulverized into the asphalt, or smash into a crowd of on lookers. If they make it, they become local celebrities. Are they bored? Nothing better it do? I have no answer except we as parents are failing them. O.K. I’m getting off my soap box. Pop on.
