Thats funny!
Living in the country…we get a lot of embedded fishing hooks. Interesting how you get a run on certain things in the ER based on season or how you just end up with pediatric nights or ortho nights, etc.
I went out to the garage one day to see our dog sitting there calmly with a fishing hook dangling from his lower lip. Trip to the vet, snip and all was well again.

Don’t ya just hate it when the barb goes in? My younger sister fell on a crochet needle once and embedded it in her palm. They couldn’t just pull it out, because the hook was all the way in. All they could do is cut off the excess, and push it the rest of the way through. Boy was she miserable!
