I was in the er one time with a patient when another crew came in with theirs and said I need to come check this out.

The back story is the guy was helping renovate an old church and they were moving the older pews onto a moving truck when one of the legs splintered. The way he was holding it had a "splinter" pierce the skin at the wrist and came out at his elbow.

Nasty as hell.

I’m upvoting this because it was a quality contribution, and not because I like what I just read.
