Instant pain relief !!

When i was a Nurse working in Casualty we used paper clips to Trefine Subungal Haematomas

We bent the clip , put elastoplast around the end  enabling us to hold it without getting burnt

, heat it up with a lighter until red hot

 then push the red hot piece through the throbbing nail full of blood !!

instant pain relief and blood everywhere

Ahhh the good old days
