Thanks for the link to that article Santiago. Good simple explanations and diagrams for fish hook removal. I haven't seen all of those techniques before.

There's rarely a doctor in the clinic in our remote town and my husband and I are sometimes called upon in "emergencies" such as this. It can be pretty stressful since we aren't physicians, and don't have hands-on training in some of the situations that come driving up to our front gate.

Since it's 3 hours down a bumpy dirt road to a victim's next hope for medical treatment, we usually at least try to help.

I made a copy of the article so next time a neighbor drives up with a fish hook in his palm (happened a few months ago), we'll have some more treatment options to try. I should probably practice on an orange in the mean time.

I noticed that the photo I posted was way too small - here's one that shows the offending memeber - not as good as Pomp's though.

Pro??? - we dont' need no stinking pros - we do'ld it ourseves. Andy comes from solid Polish stock and if, unlike me, you managed to make it through high school history without first splitting a doobee with Gordon in the bathroom before class you'll recall those people know how to live with pain.
When we got back to camp I made him soak it in a shot glass of bleach and he didn't even wince. Of course, since I'm in charge of the evening's c-cktail hour I made sure he got the same shot glass. He did mention he thought the tequila had gone off a bit.

Santiago

Speaking of piercing, your practice sounds good to me. If it doen't kill 'm it will cure 'm eh? Your history lessons sound much better than mine, very civilized civics there my friend.

I had a friend once who cut his hand badly on the chuck, out of Barre de Navidad, chasing Marlin. I had tequila and super glue with me. I gave him liberal amounts of the tequila both topicaly and internaly and then super glued the cut together and bandaged it. He used a glove on that hand the rest of the day, healed well.
