Recently I had a patient present like this. She works construction and was holding a box for her friend while he was using a nailgun, and, well...it slipped. Ouch! She was a tough patient though, she came in smiling and making jokes. She was taken to the local hosptial to see an orthopedist and drain was put in. Fortunately for her this 3.5 inch driving nail miss her bones, ligaments, and major arteries and nerves...wow! She had a great disposition through it all, and gave me permission to post these photos.
