A needle may not seem like a very harmful object but it can lead to a gruelling ordeal for a person once lodged deep enough to give even doctors a hard time removing it. While the task may seem simple, but utmost care needs to be taken to prevent further damage.
A teenager in California stepped on a sewing needle measuring between one and a half to three inches long and the top part broke and ended up getting embedded deep in his foot. What followed was a 40-minute procedure to dissect the foot as the needle was pulled out in a blood curdling moment.
The doctor who runs a clinic in California described the process in the excruciating footage as a fishing expedition as the needle was stuck deep under his skin.
