A Backup Saw?
Written by Kerri Daniels Friday, November 28 2008, 12:00 AM
I am always amazed that I am almost halfway through my 3rd year and I still learn something new everyday. Today I cut a ring off of a girl's finger who ate too much salt and got a ring stuck on her finger.
She woke up with a numb finger. Well, halfway through cutting it off the with ring daw, the saw shorted out and the ring still would not come off. We had to call maintanence and get a couple of needle nose plyers and pry the ring off her finger. Sounds like we need a backup saw.
