Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I almost split my toe open stepping on a cheese grater. First off there was no doctor in the room for supervision and the resident stuck the needle into the laceration to numb my toe. Is that where they normally stick a needle to numb a big laceration such as the one I had
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The injection should be done in the both sides of the toe near laceration. The disinfection should be done with hydrogen peroxide and betadine. If it is a big laceration with very damaged sides he would sue it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
