    Did you drive home after fishing to perform amateur surgery? Why not just cut it at the lake and head to the ER?

    Agree with other comment, take that ring off before it swells triple the size and get infected.

  3. Call your PCP and get a tetanus shot. And possibly antibiotics.

    Propa for not going to the ER.

    This is simultaneously hardcore, an example of our shitty healthcare system, and potentially quite risky.

    But Jesus you’ve got some pain tolerance.

    Also the lighting in the last picture makes it look like youve lost all your blood 🫣🫣🫣

    Get your shot for tetanus since the water can have it as well as the bottom/muck. Hell yeah though, this is called screw paying for healthcare. Non emergency requires non emergency care. Holy shit tho, I can’t believe you didn’t pass out from pushing it through

    Pictures like this are why I smash every barb I have and buy barbless hooks whenever possible.

  7. Urgent care would treat this for way less than an ER visit, from experience. They’ll numb it with a shot or two and then remove it, clean it, and give you that tetanus shot everyone else is mentioning. I also got a sweet pair of forceps out of it since “you paid for them and we can’t reuse them” 🤣
