Hey bro, how about editing out that pic. We’re keeping this thread free of that stuff. The “Motivational Pic Thread” is where you can put it. Thank you -Paul
Betcha it didn't feel good going in either.That is going to HURT coming out!
Betcha I would insist on getting tne hell numbed outta it before they take it out.Betcha he didn't feel it going in.
We don't need to bring these in here unless you want to see my thumb. There's a reason why I have thumbnail-les under my name.
They use the string method, you can YouTube it. It‘s crazy how easy the hooks come outI’d like to know how they take it out. Can’t push it through and cut the barb off.

Step 1: Digital Block. Then ya can't feel a damn thing. Then hang a drape so you ain't gotta watch. Spend most of the time asking about the trip and the catches that day, the boat, engine, weather. Literally anything to distract you.I’d like to know how they take it out. Can’t push it through and cut the barb off.

Step 2: I'd spend a minute debating between the brute force method of taking it back out the same way it came in (probably wouldn't work; barb), rolling it forward (depends on how sharp the tip is and how readily it'll piece the nail), and taking the nail out, rolling the hook through sans nail, and splinting the nail fold open.
Step 3: Grab some big ol' pliers because that hemostat just ain't gonna cut it. Use a thermal cautery unit to burn through the nail because I figure I can get away without taking the nail plate off completely. Rotate through opening in nail. Nip barbed end off. Rotate backwards out.
Step 4: Irrigate the shit out of you. Levofloxacin (salt water badness coverage), and Keflex. Direct you to go home for whiskey and sexual favors from wife.

Yep. If I can locally numb ya, problem solved. If not, then it's off to sleepy land with Ketamine or Propofol. "10, 9, 8, sixxxxxxxxzzzzzzz....... (20 minutes that don't register in the brain) 2...1.. wait it's done? God bless conscious sedation the gnarly ones.Had a kid working for me shoot a 16D nail through his shinbone. You could see the tip trying to break through the skin on the other side. They tried just pulling it out and realized that wasn't going to work. Gave him some kind of drug and he had no recollection of it ever happening.
Hooked myself in the hand when I was a teenager, but not through a nail. They let me watch.
I've had a few minor surgeries with locals but my last didn't go too well. I had been chasing a diagnosis for swollen lymph nodes on my neck, and after almost 2 years and 4 needle biopsies and 1 surgical biopsy, I wanted an answer. My surgeon agreed, but with Covid hitting and hospital craziness, he suggested we do a surgical biopsy in the office. "We'll use a local and just pop out a lymph node, no problem." After 1.5 hours, varying levels of pain, the smell of cauterized flesh and a numb left ear, it was finally over. I did finally get a diagnosis of Hodgins Lymphoma and am on my way to being hopefully cured, but from now on it's sleepy land for me.Yep. If I can locally numb ya, problem solved.

It is awesome that it didn't happen to me. I think I will go to the other page and look at impossibly shaped women.Not sure how gruesome injury pics fall under thread title of "funny & awesome".
I'm with ya. Locals do quite a bit, but for those longer ones, I'd prefer the gas too. Glad to hear you got a diagnosis and some treatment!I've had a few minor surgeries with locals but my last didn't go too well.
