I was working in an outpost in Northern British Columbia. This huge fisherman came in the door. He'd accidentally put a big rusty halibut hook through his hand while he was a day off shore. He'd grabbed a pair of pliers and pulled the hook through his hand past the barb. Then he cut the barb off, and pulled the hook out of his hand the other way. There was no antiseptic on the boat (totally against WCB regulations), so he poured a cup or so of rye whisky over the cut and wrapped it in a torn up teeshirt. Then he went back to work. All he needed from me was a tetorifice shot. I insisted in redressing the wound - and he patiently agreed. He'd done a pretty good job, so it wasn't hard. Finally I gave him the Tetorifice shot using a 25G 1 inch needle. I barely managed to catch his head as he hit the floor.
