I had a thumb that looked just like that about a decade ago. Lathe chip I attempted to pull off the machine. I love when they jam the needle right into it so they can numb it up to stitch. I almost punched the doctor. Can you feel your heartbeat thru it. Sorry

It's funny you mention that,I really don't mind the poking and pressure of the sutureing,but the initial repetition of the Novocain needle sucked.
While he was doing the deed blood just pissed out & the sad part was I couldn't feel it.
All layers of skin was cut,when the bleeding stoped you could clearly see inside,it was pretty cool to see the different layers and texture,the pitfall was "it was my thumb"Chit!I hate when it's my extremity

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

Since we're sharing pics & stories I couldn't leave out my attempt at the Darwin award.

While putting down a pressure treated 2"x12"x24' from my shoulder (I was at one end...brother at other end) my hand slid along the edge and presto.....instant tooth pick!

Needless to say I wear work gloves whenever I pickup heavy lumber now.

Wow,that takes the cake!
I guess they cut it out,making sure it all came out VS traditional pulling the bastage it out.
