september. the ER doc was a schmuck. that first picture, with the bone poking out. i took that 10 days after it happened. the ER douche told me to wait 10 days before contacting a hand specialist. he said, under NO circumstance was i to let anyone take the bandages off... he also told me to pick up some motrin on the way home. so 10 days like that, and a bottle of motrin.. when i got to the hand doc, he called over to the ER at the hospital 3 times while i was there. he was like, "WTF WERE YOU THINKING!!?" the ER dude should have called the hand doc on the spot. he said i should have had surgery the same day. schmuck..
