Bad splinter problem

[walrus]

All she said is it is large and sitting vertical into the skin so she can only see the end of it. She also tried flushing it out with lidocaine but she said she can’t get it with the tools she has. Funny thing, my buddy stopped by to help me do something the next day. I pointed to him the section I got the splinter and despite my warning he reached up to feel and bam he got two splinters. Fortunately his didn’t run as deep and he was able to get them out. Once he got them out we laughed about it but for me it wasn’t funny when he first got them. I took tonight off as my hand was numbed up and she dug into it pretty good but I figure I’ll go in tomorrow and just have my assistant do the work. I’ll jump in if it’s something big but I don’t want to push this thing deeper before I see the hand specialist.
