Today, I painfully watched my doctor burn a hole in my nail to drain the blood underneath. This is the prescribed treatment for the injury of hammering your thumb. FML

Today, I had surgery done to fix an ingrown toenail. When the doctor started cutting the nail, my toe wasn't entirely numb. FML

Today, I now know how it feels to have a splinter of wood hammered a full inch underneath your fingernail. FML

Today, while observing a surgery, I was asked to open a glass ampule of adrenaline. Not only did I break it and get it everywhere, I sliced open my thumb bad enough to need stitches. FML

Today, I was clipping my nails. When I got to my toenail, the whole thing somehow ripped right out. I'm in agony. FML

Today, I sliced a deep gash into my thumb while carving up bagels. After putting a plaster on, I returned to my room to relax, where I lit a candle. The flame from my new lighter shot up, and set fire to the plaster on my thumb. Now I have a cut AND several burns. FML

Today, I went to the hospital to get my ingrown toenail removed. The doctors put me on a little surgery table and told me to relax. They then injected anesthetic into my toe four times and used a pair of scissors to slowly cut through my nail. Only, the anesthetic hadn't started to work just yet. FML

Today, my husband stabbed me with his unusually long, nasty toenails in the leg while he slept. It took 3 stitches to fix it up, my husband and doctor laughed the entire time. He still refuses to cut them. FML

Handle with care

Today, I noticed one of my toenails was getting super long, so I cut it. In doing so, I accidentally ripped it off and it started bleeding. As I went to get something to stop it from bleeding, I got a huge splinter in my little toe, causing a painful infection. I think I should just go back to bed. FML

The pain sucks at first, but it'll be much better than the pain the swelling would have caused.

Sounds positively medieval. Still, that's a badass story for Christmas when everyone gets together and asks what happened to your thumb.

The blood being sucked fron your nail makes me imagine like your nail is being sucked dry, much like those unblown balloons in cartoons.

It may suck but I've been told bad shit can happen if the blood gathers under your nail and swells. But still that really sucks.

Happened to me once. Went to the doctor and imagined the worst, just for her to pull out a paper clip and a lighter. I just thought "What? Is she serious?". It was over before I knew it :)
