The worst part of the deal was when the Doctor comes in and says he has to find out how far in the hole goes, so he gets this wooden cotton swab and runs that thing down into the hole and starts wiggling it around. That is how I know it was about and inch deep. Hurt way worse than getting shot and pulling the nail out. They all lectured me about pulling the nail out too. Lessons learned the hard way. Sometimes tuition is a nail to just below the solar plexus.
