Day 80: Second opinion
Yesterday I went to my GP as I was getting concerned about the swelling of my hand. He immediately called the hand specialist hospital at East Grinstead and made an appointment for me today with a plastic surgeon.
After she gave me the "you should not have pulled it out, you could have bled to death" lecture, she told me that the A&E doctor's advice was wrong!
So I went from "You must keep it still" to "keep moving it!". Just for good measure the DGH gave me the wrong antibiotics too.
Funny thing was the doctor who treated me was foreign and looked like Mel Gibson. He remarked after a while that in Lethal Weapon 3 the bad guy was killed with a nail gun.
