So, as has happened so many times in my life, I made an ass-umption and was wrong.
I always figured that when 'pins' were referred to in surgical procedures that this meant some
sort of sophisticated precision hardware made in Switzerland or Germany and formed out
of titanium or whatever. This is to say that each of these parts would be billed at 500 dollars
or more, and this is excluding 'labor'. But Nooooooooo!
Here is the actual 'pin' that held two halves of my finger together while waiting to see if they'd heal.
As you can see, it's basically a two inch 'hat pin', which was shoved straight down the length of
my finger right in the middle of the tip. This will definitely not be the next big thing in 'piercing'.
Although I wasn't exactly 'there' for the insertion, it hurt like heck for the next few weeks.
But wait! There's more! Now how much would you pay? (Late night television ad joke!)
At some point I made it clear that I would want to take the pin home with me as a souvenir.
Everyone seemed to find this amusing, but basically shrugged it off. So I started yelling.
"I paid for this G-D pin, and when this is all over, I want it!"
(They seem to be paying more attention now.)
"You can help me out with this, or I can sue the (poop) out of this place to the point where all
you (incestuous people) will be out on the street!
(Huh! Everyone has left the room!)
I'm assuming multiple calls to the hospital's legal department are going on now, because
within half an hour I have three middle-aged men in suits throwing paperwork and pens at me.
No problem. I got the freaking thing!

 

So you couldn't take him in so you took him in instead?

 

Yzerman and the Russian 5 were beloved by us in Detroit. I still have a Yzerman jersey
We were heartbroken when Konstantinov was in a car accident on Woodward.

I almost didn't notice this:

 

If I could do that, I wouldn't be on Mechanical Turk.

 

You're fucking hilarious. That sounds like a terrible time but glad you got a funny story out of it!

My husband is one hundred percent of this mind-set.
He has wanted to participate in knee surgery and recent hand surgery. Tried to talk the docs into that.
I have participated in him sewing up two fingers on a table-saw injury about 20 years ago. We lived in the woods or I never would have agreed to that.
If there was ever a pin he would for sure not leave the hospital without it.

<Note - I have to now tell the anesthesiologists he is a flight risk because - after a simple procedure he woke up, took out his IV and walked the hospital corridors, found me in the waiting room and shouted "LETS GO" - I had to go find his clothes and the nurse had to corral him back to the bed. >

Edit - this LETS GO seems overly harsh given that he's basically Andy Kauffman on anesthesia. He will talk to everyone, walk the halls, get pudding, you name it. I think he had found five Jello cups before he ended up in the waiting room.
