My Dad Shot a Nail Through His Finger

About two years ago my dad was nailing wood down with a nail gun. One of the shots was bad and he hit his finger. The nail was two and a half inches long and it was one and a half inches in his finger. The doctor had to pull it out with a pliers. It went through the bone and tendon. It went in crooked and the doctor pulled it out straight and it didn't tare his skin. The doctor brought in a tupper wear bowl of pliers and the doctor said that none of these were good and my dad said "Do you want me to go to my truck and get a pair." the doctor said that my dad probably has better pliers than they do. But they found a pair that would work. The nurse had to hold down his arm while the doctor pulled it out. When they got it out he said that it hurts now, can you put it bake in. But that was a joke. He shot the nail in a couple weeks before Christmas. So on Christmas he had a huge band aid and tape on his finger.
