Haha, ouch. My cousin got a hook in the finger last summer. He ALMOST got it out but he had to go to the E-Room. Which he didn't want to do......
Here the story, it's gonna be a long one.....
2 summers ago at my usual family reunion we were having the usual night fish fry after a day on Lake Vermillion, MN. My cousin, Ben, got a fish bone stuck in his throat. Some where deep behind his tonsil or something like that. Anyways, he tried to get it out that night but couldn't reach it sooooo, he had to go to the local e-room. Bad, bad choice. The main doctor was like this 85 year old woman. Who was practically blind. She said she could see the bone, then numbed his throat and and got ready to get it out only to find that... it was... gone. She couldn't see it. She sent him out with a numb throat. Later that day he went to the closest hospital which was in Duluth. They did everything right, and I don't remember if they got it out or it came loose. But either way it got out and he got to go fishing with us in Duluth.
Anyways then last summer like I said he got hooked in the finger. We were fishing in a smaller boat with I think like 4 or 5 people.... bad idea. Everyone but him was using a bobber for big gills and perch. He was casting for fun. It got crazy because everyone was catching fish and getting stuff and moving around. He cast and his line wrapped around anoth line in the boat that was getting baited. His crank came back only to hook him in the finger. We cut the one hook that was in his finger to leave as much tag end as we could and headed back to the cabin.
He pushed it almost all the way through but couldn't quite get it out at the other end. Since it was past the barb he couldn't do anything. My mom and his mom both insisted that he go to the hospital. But since his "fish bone" accedent he refused.... until my uncle conviced him that the blind doctor had been fired. To his distain he ended up going only with the knowledge of her absence. Well he arrived and got checked in and..... guess who...... (to be continued, class ended)
