eyes are pretty resilient.... as long as no one did anything stupid like yank on it before he got to the hospital, or try to work the barb through and cut it....
I hope he had a good enough ER doctor at whatever rinky dink hospital he ended up in to know that he shouldnt be touching it! hopefully he calmed/medicated the guy and stabilized it and did nothing else.... then got the guy to somewhere like Mass eye and ear where the experts could get it out and repair the damage.
Then they can knock him out and operate on it.
Usually they just pop the whole eyeball out of the socket (there is a bunch of slack in your optic nerve that connects it to your brain ya know) and just rest it on his cheek to work on it.....
Any of you guys barfing yet?
Hopefully he did well. Nice job Milo Gilly for helping out the poor guy could have happened to any of us..... Rick was practically heaving telling me the story, and he wasnt even there!
