How to remove a stuck ring from a swollen finger

This is a pretty ingenious way of removing a ring that is stuck on a finger. I've heard the more common techniques, like using soap or vegetable oil as a lubricant, but when that doesn't work a doctor usually has to resort to cutting the ring off. This ER doc demonstrates his alternate method, and says he's never had to cut a ring off before.

Stellar!  I am so going to have to remember this!

(O' course, considering the doc is, like, twelve, never having had to cut a ring off is .....   Well, if he can still say the same when he's forty, that's something else again.)

I hate liberals. Liberalism is a disease that causes severe brain damage after it tries to suck knowledge and history out of yours.

Yeah, come back when you shave every day. Then you can brag.

Well, Pan. I hope you're happy. You sure managed to rain on his parade. ::laughonfloor::

Neat trick, though.
