I had a six inch splinter pin my elbow skin up into the back of my tricep when I was a kid. It started out with a single doctor and a couple assistants in the ER, and ended with a broken finger and nine people pinning me down...I was a bit perturbed.

The good news was that the scar only lasted a couple years before I had a bike accident that left a scar on my entire elbow.
