So... y'all remember Shaun's thumb?

So... y'all remember Shaun's thumb?  He squished ANOTHER splinter out with some pus.  The x-ray doctor AND the surgeon didn't believe there was anything left in there.  I think doctors need to listen to their patients.  I am sure they deal with a level of crazy that most of us are lucky enough not to have to see, but seriously.  Not everyone is in there for pain drugs or because they are a hypochondriac.
