Dr. Dad reporting for duty! As I walked through the door tonight Mary said, "Max got a big splinter in his foot...". I walked over to the couch to find an approx 3/4 of an inch splinter firmly embedded in his foot. He didn't appear to be in much pain, however, I knew that the splinter must come out.
After gathering the necessary tools, I went to work. I attempted local anesthesia with an ice cube but the patient resisted. I continued with the procedure and with the help of my lovely assistant Mary the splinter was extracted, Hydrogen Peroxide was applied, Neosporin was adhered, and Cars Band-Airs were applied. The patient seems to be convalescing well.
