I had a small cut on a finger that was like that one day then half my hand turned black the next day. Went to the emergency room and the DR. put me on IV Rocephin. He said if it doesn't respond to Rocephin in a couple of hours I am going to remove most of your hand.

Squeeze to get the blood out and it gives a big pain rrelief. NRA Life,Endowment,Patron or Benefactor since '72.

Worked ok, but I wouldnt try it Pretty common practice. Twist the drill by hand. Know a guy who didn't. It grabbed going out the bottom and pulled his thumb up the bit. Quit cutting when it poked out the bottom. It was a press too, not a hand drill. Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
