Have been spiked a bunch with no problems except 2 years ago when a spine broke off in the top of my foot and disappeared. Had to have it surgically removed weeks later but no infection. I had to ask for an x-ray because the ER nurse didn't think the spine was in my foot. She said it (probably won't show up in the x-ray) I said too bad I know it's there and I want it x-rayed. Sure as Shhit it showed up. She still couldn't dig it out. They set me up with an appointment to see a ortho surgeon 6 weeks later? I said WTF? That's it? No antibiotics? Have you heard about fish poison? I couldn't believe it. She was going to send me packing with a spine in my foot with no x-ray and no antibiotics. I ended up leaving (after bitching and complaining) with heavy antibiotics and a same week appointment. Ended up with a full blown under anesthesia surgery for a FRIGGIN SPINE! My dad got a treble in his hand with a fish on and his hand was the size of a boxing glove the next day with a red line going up his arm. He got straightened out, but the infection spreads quick.
