How did they get it out?
Before I joined the Navy, I worked at a transmission shop and was grinding on a metal plate without wearing safety glasses. A sliver of metal got in my eye and I figured I would wait it out and it would work itself out. I was wrong. A few days later my eye started getting red and painful. Turned out the metal sliver had started to rust in my eye. They had to use some little robert arm with a drill bit thing to go clean it all out. Amd you are awake and can see while it is happening. Really creepy.
Wear your PPE everyone.
