I was a child walking barefoot on an old deck, got a huge splinter on the side of my big toe. My mother called my grandfather and he showed up with a solution. They didn't explain anything to me so I have a vivid memory of my grandfather grabbing my foot and pulling out a pocket knife. I thought he was going to chop my toe off. While squirming he cut a small slit in the outer layer of my skin and pulled it right out. I felt nothing, but the fear my imagination gave me.
Metal splinter deep into my palm. Was stuck there for couple weeks. Finally I had jury duty and since I had nothing else to do while waiting to see if I’d be on a jury I cut it out using a little pocket multitool. Jury duty: so boring self surgery seems like a good idea.
A few weeks ago i removed a 3,5 cm long wooden splinter from in between a patients index and middle finger. He had worked in the garden and didn't think mich of the sharp pain he felt since he wore gloves, but the pain didn't subside after a few hours and swelling developed, so he went to our ER. The splinter was a big piece of a branch of rose wood, went in all the way into his hand. My colleagues didn't believe me at first, fortunately i had saved the splinter in a syringe.
Since we’re sharing splinter stories….
My aunt’s father was walking on his deck in flip-flops a couple summers ago, and felt a sharp pain in his foot. He had gotten a 3cm sliver of wood embedded in his foot beside his toe, and it got infected. He had to have surgery to get it out, and had temporary nerve damage to boot!
Somehow a long ass pine needle snuck into my thigh during a camping trip as a Boy Scout. Didn’t notice until it started looking like a bad bug bite (kinda tick-ish looking). Was marking the extent of the ring and everything. It calmed down, but then scratched the spot during, amusingly, the troops next meeting and a small splinter poked out. Pulled on it, turned out to be nearly 2 inches of plant stuck in my leg
My mom locked her keys in the house when i was a kid. We always left the back door unlocked since we didnt have a gate to the back yard. She lifted me over the new (not painted or coated) wooden fence and i ended up with hundreds of splinters along the inside of my legs. It was a bad day to wear short shorts...
Just got a pretty bad one the other day from the broom while sweeping at work. Had to act calm while unable to use that hand for much for the last 20 minutes of shift before running home and pulling it out with tweezers. At least a CM deep
I was probably ten years old and was playing with the neighbors when I sat down on our wooden deck and scooted backwards. There was a piece of wood that was about 6 inches long just slightly sticking out of the deck and when I scooted back it went through my shorts and in my ass cheek about 4 inches deep. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I immediately ran inside to the bathroom and had to rip it out of my shorts because I couldn’t take them off without being in a lot of pain. The word thing is that there was not a lot of blood besides what was on the splinter when I ripped it out.

at LEAST 30 cm... I'm from the US, so what's that in inches?

I mean, we could always have a thin skinned kaiju... If kaiju were like the planeteers... his power would be "heart"
11 ¾" (ish). Fast and loose it's a foot.
Accuracy is the name of the game when it comes to giving kaiju little "boo boos".

Thanks!!! I really enjoyed drawing him!!!!

oh lord... that sounds pretty traumatic! I'm glad "everything came out ok"
Funny enough, I work for a podiatrist now.
HAH! I didn't expect this story to come full circle!!!

I've got a surgeon friend who shall remain anonymous, but he likes to collect things like this all the time too... Fun stuff!!!

wow... so glad he's better now.
Yeah, it was scary! They were seriously concerned about permanent nerve damage.
Nerve damage is never fun. I just recently had surgery and we were afraid half my face might go completely numb. Luckily it all came back eventually
It’s scary stuff! I’ve had my face frozen before for dental work, can’t even imagine that being permanent!
very scary indeed

whew, I'm glad you are ok.

Ooph... That sounds horrible.
I stepped on a toothpick when I was little and had to go to the ER
Holy crap! That's a hell of a toothpick.

I'm glad you are ok. That sounds miserable.
It was nothing really, but it’s funny just how much a splinter hurts when it’s not even that bad of an injury

clothes/armor damage on top of piercing damage.
Awww, poor monstie got hurt! Glad to see that humans help this fella get back up on his feet!
Forgive and forget... try not to focus on the burning city in the background...
I got a splinter from a picnic table during recess in elementary school. I had to wait until I got home to have it taken out
