Default Ouch my poor finger!

A couple of years ago I was trying to identify a "clicking" sound from the front wheel.
I jacked up the car and was spinning the wheel to see where it was coming from .... my finger went through one of the holes in the wheel (a Crown) and met up with the brake caliper immediately stopping the wheel spinning
Flippin' eck it hurt!

(Stop reading if you are squeamish.......)

After a week of intense pain "a friend" said it happened to his friend. A doctor drilled a tiny hole in the nail to release the blood that builds up behind the nail .. so why not try that?
I did.... by hand ....VERY carefully with a clean, new, tiny drill bit...
The kitchen table looked like a scene from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre! How can you store so much blood behind a finger nail?!
Two more weeks of suffering I went to the doctors. They took me into hospital the next day and removed the nail.
Do I get a Double Wally Award?

And yet I still like Crowns...!
