Patient is a 40 year old male. During helping a cousin clean some old wooden planks, subject stepped into a nail resulting in this laceration. Condition is stable, he has to get a Tetanus shot, will probably survive. Did not cry during injury.

Admit it, you cried ;
Columbia Redmond III hiking shoes?
I hate working with scrapwood mainly because of this and splinters.

I did this when i was 4 or 5, except i was barefoot and the nail went all the way through. I ran bloody footprints up and down the verandah while Mum rang around for a ride to the hospital.

One time when I was a kid, I climbed a simple between-yards fence, but couldn't make it over and had to slide back down the side I'd attempted it from. There was a long nail sticking out of my side of the fence, RIGHT where I'd tried, that I hadn't seen: it skip-puncture-caught my chest otw down 4 times, the final one hung me up toes-touching, I had to push myself down/OFF of it. Luckily just flesh wounds, no rib cage penetration. Kids are effin' indestructible (so they think, having never known any different.....)

I didn't but to be honest I thought the damage was much worse as it felt like it hooked into the skin. The hiking shoes are my old worn out Columbia Crestwood, so close! I wore them because they could get dirty as I have to throw them out but I realized if they were new(er) the nail might not have pierced through the sole. We were carrying a really heavy 'log' though so it could have been worse although without this log I would have weighed much less. The irony was that I told my cousin 30 seconds earlier that I had to be careful not to trip walking backwards, he then suggested we trade places

It's good that you didn't cry but there would have been no shame in it. Did they give you a sticker when you went to the hospital?

Been there. Hurt bad. No cry.

I can’t believe it’s healed now. I honestly could not walk Friday evening and during Saturday. Even on Sunday I was limping
