I fricked up and accidentally pushed a roll pin inside my hand last night. I was trying to change add an extened charging handle to my AR. I was using that tiny screw driver on my Leatherman, and sorta was holding it like a clamp between both hands. Well I underestimated the amount of force needed, and stabbed myself pretty good. The screew driver came was stuck in my skin, and I can't reach the pin with tweezers to get it out, as a matter of fact I can't even feel it it's so deep inside my hand. What do?
wash your hands lol is that shit on your hands??
Its the carbon from the rifle, no guns.
my shits black, wtf are you firing
also
>cleaning guns
just keep adding more lube lmfao
Stay in the city where you belong homosexual.
Ask me how I know you've never worked with your hands a day in your life.
>Ask me how I know you've never worked with your hands a day in your life.
I did. When I was young and skilles. Did my fair share of trade jobs. Now I don't have too, I work with my brain.
Shut up Vatnik shill
First, triple check the screw didn't drop on the floor. Second, ask your doc. Good luck.
you are now a non zero percentage AR15. you can probably talk to guns now
I accidentally swallowed a piece of string. Am I now a machinegun and will the ATF destroy me?
no just moronic
It's illegal to OWN a machinegun (without your stamp), not illegal to BE a machinegun.
>I identify as an AR-15, my pronouns are "pew-pew-pew" and "ratata"
"Illegal" okay cuck
ok, I fricking laughed
Hopefully both
Shoot the wound to make room to get in there. 10mm usually leaves a 10 mm entrance wound, enough room to get that sucker with a tweezers.
seeing as you aren't gushing blood and the wound is clearly just flesh, I can firmly say you are a moron and there is no roll pin in your hand
What worries me is I can't find the roll pin. Didn't hear it hit the floor. Also yes I agree, I am moronic
dig around with a toothpick and see if you can feel metal in your hole. take a shot of something strong and bite a rag while you do it
Do you have a magnet handy? Wave it near your hand and see if you feel anything.
>I can firmly say you are a moron and there is no roll pin in your hand
Objects can stay inside the body without bleeding.
Keep streching it and clean the hole every day. Maybe you get a neo-vegana or AR15 pins
Chill out on the meth
Dig it out, pansy.
Use a long nail to push the pin further in, until it starts poking out of the other side of your hand. Then pull it out of there.
Wait for your body to push it out.
Or get thin-tipped scissors and start digging.
neodymium magnet.
Okay wait, so do you think the pin went down straight in, or at an angle? If it went down, and you are sure it did so and didn't just clank down on some soft surface nearby, I'd say:
1) get sone stronger alcohol or medical spirit if you have it, splash a good deal of it on the wound
2) get a pair of tweezers and a lighter. Burn the tip of the tweezers, then also splash them in the spirit from before
3) dig into the wound and attempt to grab onto the sides of the rolling pin. It really can't be that far down, so I'd say try scraping around the surface and attempt to find the edge, grab on to it, pull it out
4) reapply the spirits and bind the wound
Or you know, go to the ER room, but I guess you are a burger and you'll get ripped off.
Im an ER doctor. Do not do any of this shit this guy is a dumbass.
What do you think of the magnet idea?
If it's really so hard to get out you can't do it with some skin manipulation and tweezers I doubt the magnet would help, but frick it try it and report back.

You forgot to tell him to bite down on a piece of wood
Bit of an update
Drank nearby tequila. Fished around with a needle. I feel a little metallic thing in there. It's in there, bit it is really deep. Can't take it out with a needle. I'm going to have to wait for a few days and see if body pushes it out. Also yes I'm not going to the ER. I'd rather die than owe the hospital till I get old.
Do you not have fricking pincers/tweezers? I had to fish out enough ingrown pubes to know how this goes. There is a good chance the shit will just close up into a pus-leaking skab that will NEVER go away until you reopen the wound and rip that shit out.
Use a strong magnet
One of those frickhuge magnets could do the trick
this. my father was a machinist, magnets are how he got shavings out of his hands, arms and at least once--his eye
Buy this
shit from ju-azon B07FLYSZGY
Shit is strong as frick, like don't put it on any painted metal cuz it will scratch that shit.
You can go to an urgent care rather than an ER.
>american healthcare
>I'd rather die than owe the hospital till I get old.
OOOO SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEE
>I'm going to have to wait for a few days and see if body pushes it out
That's a meme, it's just gonna form a fibrous capsule around it and become a cyst(best case) or an abscess(worst case)
Yeah. OP is a fricking moron and he's probably going to need surgery later if he doesn't get it now. There is also of course the huge infection risk.
Dunno if you're still reading this, but try going to a small vet for a more humane price
land of the free
Just go to a clinic you moron. It'll be like 100 bucks.
If you're what your state considers "poverty" (look it up) drive to a hospital that says they do charity work and read their documents that they're required to publish online. If it checks out you walk away with 80-100% of the charges dismissed. But honestly stop being a pussy and get a steralized hobby knife and cut a hole large enough for tweezers to fit in
just go to the er and give them a fake name and social like everyone else. i have good health insurance and still do this for laughs.
>this is the story of how my limbs were amputated and organs irreversibly damaged by sepsis
Good luck anon, you're a moron but you'll be remembered as a screencap in the humour threads occasionally I'm sure. If you survive I'm sure you'll have a solid career in the amputee fetish industry.
>Top ten posts made days before death by infection
>American healthcare: the thread
The average American actually has health insurance and this would be a $25 doctor visit for any functioning human being. PrepHole however, is full of fat moron Black folk that spend all their money on cheese doodlez and reddit gold.
When the Science Asylum guy explained us healthcare I was in shock. In theory US private health care should be cheaper and more efficient than Europoor, in reality, you guys are getting fricked in the ass and ripped off on every single step. Overpriced hospital bills, medicine prices straight from the ass, its fricked up.
On paper it blows, but in reality you pay $100-$200 a month for insurance and you never even see your overpriced hospital bill, and your $200 a month medication, even if insurance won't cover it, is $10 a month after a manufacturer coupon.
People who can't afford health insurance don't deserve health care. Simple as.
Ok what about a case he described, where he had to pay huge hospital bill despite having health insurance, but thanks to the fact that he had "premium" HI (he paid more), his insurance company magically "negotiated" his bill with the hospital and the quote dropped to acceptable level. Looks like froad to me. Another guy in different video explained how all the prices for procedures hospitals do are taken from thin air, do not represent real costs at all, just drain suckers as much as you can.
Im not saying healthcare here is good, but the gov really tries to for force real prices on farmacutical companies, and promotes cheaper drugs instead of overpriced ones. You can actually sue a doctor or pharmacy if they push more expensive drug when there is a cheaper alternative from different company.
>all the prices for procedures hospitals do are taken from thin air, do not represent real costs at all, just drain suckers as much as you can
Sounds about right. I went to the ER for chest pains. It took them several hours to do some blood tests and take an x-ray, only for them to conclude that it was probably stress-related [due to my shitty awful low-paying job that I was fired from a few days later anyway]. They gave me a bill for $600 something, which I guessed was reasonable and I was out the door. Then I get additional letters and phonecalls saying they decided that I actually owed almost $2000 for the 'treatment' and that they'd 'generously' lower the price if I paid the remaining balance by a certain time. Then months later I got another fricking bill, this time specifically for the doctor's fee. The doctor that didn't do shit but give me a prescription for painkillers.
No wonder they say healthcare in America sucks if that's the experience people have.
Until you need medicine / procedures insurance for some israeli reason won't cover and you either end up in debt or lose all your life savings and retirement money. Don't get your brain twisted, it could happen to you. The poorgays hey free care courtesy of the government, the richgays don't have to worry about it, and the middle and working class gets fricked hard. The US healthcare system only benefits a certain ~~*group*~~. Unironically universal care would be better for everyone. Inb4 I don't wanna pay for Black folk - you already do
>In theory US private health care should be cheaper and more efficient than Europoor
You are moronic if you believe this. Making it greed based does not make it cheaper.
I work for one of the largest medical suppliers in the country and what morons (in the US) don't get is that private doesn't mean fair.
One of the major strengths of a single payer system is that you get a single price because private suppliers like the one I work for cannot negotiate with them in bad faith without being caught in the act.
Here, if you go to two different hospitals with the same quality of care and the same suppliers for everything you will pay two different prices. This is because companies like mine work overtime to israelite new clients into paying high prices and since nobody is openly posting how much they paid for X and how much they charge for Y it is impossible for that hospital to figure out if they're getting israeliteed or not. Big companies like mine discourage shopping around for better prices by saying "Well if you don't buy X from us then we'll stop supplying Z as well, and we're the only supplier of Z that can supply the amounts you need lol :^)"
Are the pins magnetic? Can you feel it inside of your hand if you put a magnet nearby it?
What state are you in? There's a chance there could be a charity hospital.
In any case, the hospital having to operate on an infected rotting hand is going to be more expensive and more likely to damage you long term than just treating it early.
This, that'd be one way to tell.
yeah it's a horror show, I've been in third world hellholes with better and cheaper healthcare than the US, then had fellow burgers ape out when I describe how what we have here sucks.
Just in case you do leave it in and it heals on its own, be sure to remember that it's there if you ever need an MRI
Because then it will come out pretty fast
>Because then it will come out pretty fast
Rad tech here. No it won't. But it could heat up and cause a burn.
dude just man the frick up and just tear the wound with your finger or get a friend to do it with gloves and you should be fine
Are you sure the pin is inside you? It's possible it flew away. Do you have a magnet that you can use to feel for it?
go to an urgent care you fricking moron
go the other way. I mean now make your whole hand a gun. Cant be many parts left to shove in. U didnt frick up anon, u may be a god damd genius.
Hands are now considered unfinished lowers in NY and CA
This is what doctors are for anon. Please see a doctor.
This lad needs to get himself a tetanus jab pronto.
Go to an urgent care you dumbass
It will heal around it if you don't, it's too big for your body to naturally push it out on its own
Go to a doctor or preferably an urgent care. If you have insurance it won't cost that much and if you don't get medicaid you fricking moron. They'll accept almost anyone right now.
If you don't theres a real chance you could develop gangrene and lose the hand entirely or worse. Foreign objects in the body of that size are no joke. If you keep digging around int he wound you're going to keep introducing bacteria and therefore increase the chances of infection.
You are a moron for asking /k/ for advice.
>get strong magnet
>see if magnet sticks to hand
If no, it's not in there. If yes, oof.
Rub it with water until the pain stops
This reminds me of the time I had to tooth of a comb broken off and lodged under my fingernail. Long story short I couldn't get it out and neither could the walk-in clinic so I went to the ER and they basically numbed me up(with a giant painful needle ironically) cut off half the fingernail then charged me $150.
At least it wasn't something shoved up your ass like most OP's
just ignore it ur body will dissolve it eventually
Try to suck it out with a vacuum cleaner
When I was in middle school I was walking between classes with a newly sharpened pencil. Another student bumped into me and the pencil went into the plam of my hand. It broke off in there and stayed there for weeks. The wound grew a cap of hardened skin and eventually the lead started to push its way out. I could see it under the skin and scratvhed at the wound until there was a bit of lead sticking out. I then used it to write and draw things using my palm for a few days until it loosened up. I'll never forget the *schloop* noise it made when I finally got a good grip on it and pulled it out.
I have had a pretty bad day to say the least, thanks for the laugh and good luck with your hand
Top fricking kek
Go to the emergency room? Oh, wait you're Yankee. Ha haa, enjoy your shitty health care :DDD
Y'all really do be using your ERs for pointless shit, huh?
Being poor and stupid isn't a brag
>look how much I saved time and money by not going in the ER
Better than getting put on a ventilator while female nurses record dancing TikTok videos with your wasted body as the backdrop.
What, you don't want to be an internet sensation? Lol. Also why would you be in a ventilator, if you have stuff in you hand or a bullet in your calf?
What happened to your leg?
Is your leg rotting from the horrific conditions you live in?
Assuming this isn't a troll, holy shit how much fricking force were you using? I can't imagine being able to force a roll pin into someone else's body let alone my own with one push, I assume a hammer or mallet was involved? Also can't remember ever installing a roll pin in a manner where my body was in line with the path of travel. Tell us more about the incident itself OP. Then go to the fricking ER. Or if you're feeling especially moronic overnight a big neodymium magnet and post a webm of you sucking it out and flush the wound with sterile saline and pray to whatever gods you believe in it doesn't get infected while you superglue or sew the hole shit. Make sure to prop your phone up somewhere and record it if you do this because we NEED that webm if that's how you decide to frick this pig.
Pretty sure that was thread from last year where an anon NDed into his leg and refused to go to the ER and kept posting updates on his laughable self treatment.
>obese
>unkempt toenails
>disgusting filthy living environment
Hopefully this fat homosexual succumbed to his moronation
this isn't an ER thing
this is a call your doc for a referral thing
there's no emergency
Your body will eventually force it out if your wound heals, it makes take a few years but one day your gonna see a roll pin sticking out of your ass cheek
Or an alternative go see a doctor and have it removed in a few hours
yeah sure OP! Just like the time when you accidently sat on that 2 liter bottle and had to go to the ER!
Get a doctor to cut it out or go ham with a scalpel yourself. It won't kill you at least.
slam some whiskey and go to a doctor, a mexican place, anything fancier than a vet clinic will get it out for $50
Now your hand has a cute little vegana to match the big one between your legs.
> I can't even feel it it's so deep inside my hand.
This is why we know this is bullshit. If it was in there anywhere you'd be acutely aware of it and it would be painful
By now it would also be very swollen with visible bruising
Not necessarily, as a teen I had a piece of fiberglass just barely shorter than the thickness of my index finger, lodged in my index finger during a bow-and-arrow incident. I didn't know it was in there and just thought it was a weird injury until the scab started to thrust itself upward above the rest of the joint and then I squeezed it and it popped out.
Nope, a lot of the interior of the hand is just empty space between the metacarpals surrounded by connective tissue that can't feel a thing.
Google hand anatomy images and see how much of a moron you are
You're right. There's no way you could fit a roll pin anywhere in here.
you might as well cut your fricking hand off than rely on our shitty fricking health system
>smash finger in lathe because I was doing something dumb
>try to go to urgent care to get stitches
>have to wait over an hour even though I'm bleeding because the place is full of hypochondriacs who think they have bat flu
>someone finally takes a look at it and tells me they can't fix it and to go to the er
>go to hospital and wait for another 3 hours behind people with hangovers and sprained ankles before I'm put in a room
>takes another 3 hours to get 3 stitches
>get bill for $1700 even with insurance
>goes to a patient first for major bleeding
>expects anyone to listen to his shitty advice
I swear the only people who complain about healthcare costs here are illegals, the grossly moronic, and so poor they essentially fall into the second category or clearly the world wants them dead
it wasn't spraying blood or anything. I had it wrapped in gauze and it wasn't dripping on the floor. it pissed me off though that they made me wait so a dozen karens could get their coof tests.
I had called before I went to ask if they could do stitches and they said they could. apparently they didn't want to do it because the finger nail was rekt and had to be removed.
So it wasn’t actively bleeding and your acting like the Karen you hate.
>never bothered to mention the smashed nail
Well shit there’s your problem, did they do rads? Did they have an X-ray machine? Did you bother to even ask?
The urgent care probably suspected some tendon/joint involvement, but thats giving them the benefit of the doubt. We get simple lacs sent over from urgent care all the time, I have no fricking clue what they do over there.
They treat animal bites, mild infections and wounds. They blatantly state if it’s a true emergency go to an Ed on the door
ER*
A finger lac is not an emergency and the general public does not have the medical knowledge to know emergency vs not. Not that anything you said is wrong.
If what he said was true and he was continuing to bleed after getting checked in it was probably more serious then he is letting on, and frankly with the generic “fuk American healthcare” comment, i wouldn’t be shocked if it hit something major or the bone and he was hiding that
Tetanus shot
This is true, you need one OP if you haven't had one in the past 10 years, 5 depending on who you ask
Can you not buy lidocaine and a syringe in america? Why does every home surgery suggestion here involve 'just take a swig of whisky lol'?
Lidocaine is prescription only for some reason.
That's weird
I guess they don't want morons accidentally injecting it IV
That’s exactly why, that and it’s a painkiller in certain mixtures, we use it in vet med in CRIs with small mammals like rabbits to help with pain in cases of hypomotility or bloat. So yeah morons will inject it
It's actually used as an IV infusion in surgical anaesthesia too, but you'd need monitoring in case it fricks with the heart rhythm
Also I'm an ESL and didn't know what CRI is, but yeah, it's like that in humans too
Oh neat ok that makes sense, don’t actually use it for that in vet med, or at least I haven’t seen it recently, we usually use ketamine, torb, dexdomitor, etc. and gas
Kek yeah
I think there are topical pain creams that have lidocaine and are otc, but yeah, anything injectable (not just local anesthetics) will be scrip only in the US.
Because the people here who say “fuk American healthcare” and the population of room temperature IQ individuals heavily cross.
Go to the doctor you stupid homo
magnet
or just go to the doc and get some twink surgeon to yank it out with better tweezers
2nd update
Went out and got a magnet like some anons were suggesting. Yup, it's in there. I feel a tug when I bring the magnet close. Bad news? It's in at an angle and I don't think will come out the hole it came in. Will probably just leave it there till body naturally forces it out, or just loose my hand like other anons were saying. Frick it I'm a right handed anyway.
Hole looks like it's healing, doesn't look infected yet, will continue to monitor. Don't remember when I last got my tetanus, so I'll get it today just to be safe. I won't try digging it out since I don't want to make things somehow worst. I'll just enjoy being part gun for a while. Do I have to worry about the ATF confiscating me now? Careful when taking out roll pins guns, I don't want any of you hurting yourselfves.
Don't do this man, you really don't want to lose your hand.
Go to a vet and explain your situation.
A vet isn't going to do anything but tell him to go to a human doctor. Vets aren't licensed to treat human patients. It could mean his job, fines, and even jail time.
Really? God damn America fricking sucks
Go to urgent care, if you can afford guns, you can afford to have foreign objects removed from you.
Also, your body will likely not 'force it out' or 'absorb it'. I've had a similar-sized piece of metal in my hand for close to 15 years now, and it's still visible.
the pin will just forever be a novelty if not removed, much like when an anon gets stabbed by a pencil and the tip breaks off.
unless your roller pin was around manure, or you work in a cow pasture, then you aren't going to get tetanus.
your hand is pretty fricking fragile, so you got lucky if you still have 100% range of motion with no pain in spite of throwing a piece of metal in there.
the easiest time to dig it out would have been immediately and having some moron dig it out for you now will likely cause more harm than good at this point.
also you would be laughed out of the ER if you came in over this, it isn't an emergency by any stretch, and an urgent care clinic will probably just frick up your hand further, so just live with it now, it's essentially cosmetic.
>lucky if you still have 100% range of motion with bo pain in spite of throwing a piece of metal in there.
Weird, I took a knife straight through the center of my palm, and had no long-term damage. Just wrapped it in bandages for a couple weeks.
And I mean like, in one side and out the other.
Upper part of your palm has far less vital structures than the lower half, easy to hit a nerve or sever a tendon otherwise.
Go to an emergency care center
If you leave it in it will probably get infected, which will cost more money and take longer to heal. When dealing with medical stuff the longer you wait the worse it gets
Could even form an abscess which could need a surgery to drain, and then you’ll have a big hole in your hand for a while
Whatever you do, DO NOT leave it in your hand.
Anyone else think that gash looks like some kind of mini pussey?
Means you should be able to slide right in with room to spare.
Try to reach it using a thin steel rod with a magnet on its external end. Steel can "conduct" magnetism, hence you should be able to effectively use it as a magnet to get the pin.
lmfao this reminds me of why I used to look at this site, good going anon
Thread theme
Get a really strong magnet
I had the inner race of a wheel bearing explode while it was trying to remove it and I used a strong magnet to put the metal shrapnel out from under my skin. Maybe that could help you too
did that hurt
Have you ever had anything deeply embedded in you? You can't feel it unless it moves. Your sensory nervous system doesn't go into your meat
Go to the ET and get a tetanus booster and have someone remove it and administer prophylactic antibiotics. There is a risk of tetanus, of the foreign body infecting you (it for example carries bacteria from the surface if the hand into the skin), and of it causing your body to form an obnoxious fibrous or pussy or whatever flavor capsule around it.
Are you a first year med student?
Just get it removed at the hospital you moron, it will cost you less than you spent on your gun.
Wear gloves next time.
The problem with avoiding medical attention for an issue, is that the problem typically just gets worse, and you're forced to go to the hospital anyway, but now the issue is significantly worse, and you end up owing more money. Not going to the hospital is classic poverty stupidity, that keeps poor people poor. Realize you're going to take a hit either way, so get it over with now while the problem is minor.
You already have the roll pin. Just need the rest of the posts to complete the build.
I PUSH THE ROLL PIN INTO MYYYYYYYY
I've thought of a solution OP
>go and set any car on fire wait for the cops
>call them racist fascists as they arrest you

If they can make tax payers pay for troony procedures on inmates, they can sew your hand up.
Knower here, stuff in your hand is bad news. If it gets infected and fricks up surrounding tissue you could lose mobility in your hand to various degrees, to straight up losing your hand or going septic. There's a whole specialty of people just for your hand, it's a big deal. Go to the ED, and, perhaps, get your name wrong when they ask 😉
Was the roll pin stainless or cadmium plated?
Because cadmium is nasty.
Do you have a strong magnet handy?
Your mom has a strong wiener handy, meaning she has my fat 9" wiener in her crusty butthole if you know what I mean
Don't be moronic and leave it in anon
While it is true that you can probably live with it the extra complications in the inevitable situation where you do some level of damage to your hand again
any 1/2 competent surgeon can get the pin out without undue damage - they will give you a shot of local anesthetic make an incision to remove the pin,stitch you up and tell you to be less moronic next time
And then charge him 10k because hes a burger and their healthcare is moron tier
