Splinter stuck in father's finger!!?

Question

I need some help here. My dad was cleaning outside and got a Lotus Thorn stuck in the pad of his thumb. He refuses for me to use a needle or tweezers, and he, being right handed, cannot do it himself. He keeps talking about a "Raw Meat Trick" something about the raw meat will pull the splinter out?? Please help!!

Answer 1

DONT do the raw meat trick. My friend died from that! You probably think i'm kidding but i swear i'm not. After 3 hours of the raw meat trick, his WHOLE body turned red and 2 hours after that he was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance but died on the way. PLEASE don't let your father do this!

Answer 2

Keep insisting to your father to remove the splinter.  Eventually, he'll come around and let you remove it.
