Which nation, Ecuador? How is Quito this time of year?

You forgot to say "You insensitive clod!"

I'd be insulted if I actually cared, I don't think that I've come across as Ecuadorian, or have I?
There are examples of trepanning going back before we know how to write, so the principle of what Hanners is doing is fairly old (cut a hole to release the blood and the pressure to prevent worse damage). I'm just glad that even after all the time I've spent in HMTQ's service, going hiking/hunting/fishing and doing home renos with without safety boots or glasses I haven't needed more than a band-aid to fix the boo-boos.

I'm not getting the "insensitive clod" part.
And I know you're Canadian, not Ecuadorian; your profile said as much. I was just messing around. Don't know why you'd be insulted, though; Quito is beautiful. Or at least it was when I visited.
I know of trepanning, and how old the skeletons are that they've found evidence of the operation on, but more specifically I was wondering who thought "a blood blister under a nail? Oh, I'll just jam a RED HOT WIRE in, and see what happens!" first.

--- Quote ---Hanners can get a good bit of sympathy from me for a lot of things, but not if she can't help field-dress a few minor wounds. She'd downright pass out if she had to handle some of the things I did before I turned 25, which completely exclude broken bones but include blowtorches, taking the side out of a finger, dropping a solid 70lbs of concrete on my toe (no, I wasn't wearing work boots...no one else was prepared that day either), or a few snakebites (non-poisonous). Those are the gentle ones.

Home renovations is why I wear glasses instead of contacts... the day the staple bounced back and stuck in the plastic shatterproof lens was very convincing.
Also, though I've never needed worse than bandaging either, I've got a few interesting scars, like the one on my forearm when I discovered the 4th rule of plumbing;
"Never sweat copper joints from below"
The first three rules of plumbing;
1. Left is hot.
2. Shit flows downhill
3. Keep your hands out of your mouth

Is 5. Wear loose pants and low underwear?

There's also the special rule of plumbing, which should be adhered to by any who have…doubts about their ability to handle a particular project: don't mess with it, you incompetent twit.
