Bad splinter problem

They will come out eventually or use a magnet.

Copper's not magnetic, my metallurgically-challenged friend.

He probably means a magic super hero comic book magnet that is not a magnet. Like a giant hand or an alien squid.

Walrus just go to the clinic surely? Your hand has to be worth that?

Well yeah I think I’m going tomorrow as I did the self surgery thing and got most of it but I had to cut deep and I don’t think I can cut deeper without worrying about hitting a ligament. I’m just curious what the hell they use. I know they will numb it which will help but if I cut it up and looked with a magnifying glass and couldn’t find it what the hec do they do. Perhaps it’s just cause they studied shit like that and have done it a shitload of times. I guess I’m curious of the process and was hoping someone actually went through it which may assuage my anxiety about the whole thing. Plus having to go to a walk in place may very well mean I spend several hours sitting waiting to get a damn splinter out which seems like a waste of life
