In the early 90’s I got a huge splinter of wood down behind one of my finger nails,A&E had a go at getting it out but unknown to them a 30mm piece was left in.This after a few days caused an infection and so I was booked in for an operation to remove it.
As it was infected they left me until the end of the day,I was in the theatre and one of the assistants started putting some yellow stuff all over my hand,and I said to him “I wouldn’t do that if I were you”,he said “why not?”.........I said “it’s the wrong hand” 😂😂.Apparently they had put my I.d. wrist band on the wrong hand, it should be on the side NOT being operated on.
