knew it was stupid...and did it anyways

Junkman, speaking of the ring cutters reminds me of a story my cousin told me. He was working in the emergency room during his rotation in becoming a doctor. He said a young female came in with a ring located in the bottom half of the body in a place generally covered with underclothing. Anyway she said she thought it was infected and she couldn't get it out. When he looked at it, he said it was very infected but the problem was the ring cutters they had couldn't cut through the thick barbell ring she had. I forget how they eventually got it out but he said when she left she vowed to never get another piercing. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Uh.. yeah.. I don't think I qualify... Based on what I saw you have to have significant 'straight' portions in your family tree /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif!

A friend of mine works in radiography. While he was working at a local hospital.. you wouldn't believe the amount of foreign objects he had to xray prior to surgical removal..

LOL....that reminds me of a story my cousin told me about when he was an EMT. They went on a call at an apartment where this guy was out cold on the floor and bleeding from a head wound. They asked the woman there what had happened, and she said she had hit him over the head with a "smoove". /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif None of the EMT's knew what a "smoove" was, so they asked her again. She said "A smoove....you know! You plug it in and it gets hot and you can smoove your clothes." The woman had clobbered her husband with the hot clothes iron! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

So... what you're all saying is that getting married can be hazardous to one's health??

At least the hospital didn't have to surgically remove the "smoove" from the man internally. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Wow! That is graphic...was it possible to put the skin back on that finger? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I knew I do not wear rings for a reason...

I'm glad I looked but that is not a picture I want to download and save...I will remember that for quite a while...saved permanently in my memory banks...

I got married on April 28, 1965, and on December 29, 1965, my partner hit a tree head on in the squad car, hard enough to break my seat belt, stick my head through the windshield, jam my feet into the floorboard and my hands into the dash, etc. Someone at the hospital removed my wedding band and a class ring I was wearing, thank goodness. It was over a month before the swelling went down in my hands enough I could get my rings back on, but I haven't worn them since. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif If they hadn't removed them before the swelling set in I guess they would have had to have been cut off.
