Just confirmed with my wife (ER doctor) that there is no situation where an EMT amputates your finger because they can’t get a ring off.

- jacquesm 5y agoI don't think I ever said that an EMT would amputate your finger. I said that you might get further injuries. For instance: embedded Tungsten fragments or in case of a prolonged problem removing the ring further tissue damage.
- learc83 5y agoThe main point of the person you were replying to was that the finger amputation thing is an urban legend because you can shatter a tungsten ring. And the point of my reply was that an EMT won’t amputate your finger. I just assumed that your reply was refuting that point.
