Father tries to cut BB pellet out of son's skull after mishap

[MineralMan]

12. Hmm...hard to say whether this rises to the arrest level.

When I was 13, I went deep sea fishing with my father on the family boat. Somehow, I got a 4-0 hook that went through the web between my thumb and forefinger. Hurt like hell. My father took a look at it, said "Hmph! You should be more careful." Then, he took a pair of heavy-duty wire cutters, cut the point and barb off the hook and backed the hook out with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. He then poured some hydrogen peroxide on it. It bled pretty good for a while, so I had to hold a towel on the wound while I continued to fish. I caught a nice big grouper that day.

It was first aid. By the time our fishing trip was over, the bleeding had completely stopped. He took another look at it and told me I was good to go. Sure enough, a few days later and it stopped hurting altogether.

There's a lot of home doctoring that goes on. Sounds like this was one of those cases to me. BB gun injuries were handled by us kids ourselves. No need to explain to parents how you got a BB imbedded in your ass. The handy boy scout knife was always good enough to dig it out. They never went very deep.
