Pierced through the hand with a spearhead!

This person was doing some fence work when he suddenly slipped, instinctively trying to hold on one of the spearheads, which pierced and got lodged through the palm of his hand. Luckily enough, it missed all the main blood vessels in the hand and the patient sustained only minor superficial injuries. The spearhead was surgically removed and he was discharged shortly after. The drainage tubes in the hand allow fluid to drain from the surgical wound site to prevent infection and the delay of wound healing.
