Thanks to Dr. Tom Willming who heard my plight this morning and came to the station with his medical kit to extricate the sliver the size of a small Ponderosa from under my fingernail.

Unfortunately, I had already done the job with our engineer's toenail clippers, our news director's alchohol, and our sales associate's sewing kit needle.

What does gangrene look like?

Thanks, Dr. Willming!  It was like "Little House on the Prairie" or something.  I didn't know one could still get a house call.
