I only hooked myself bad once and it was basically identical to your pic. Hubby wanted to try the pliers and I nearly barfed at the thought.....I opted for the E.R. and they gave me 3 nerve blockers which they didn't get right each time and then tried to back it out... I told them "no...not a good Idea there is a huge barb in there just like you see on the other two hooks right there"....but they insisted on trying anyway! Hubby had to go outside for air after watching them try ....I was about as calm and patient as I could ever be when I finally insisted they push it through and cut the barb or I was leaving! It was at that point I wished I had just let my husband do it in the first place with no (useless) nerve blocker three hours prior! thanks for the memories
