well i finally did it.while running a trotline i got hooked in the thumb…and good.just missed the bone. no way of me pulling it out.i went to nason medical and was amazed they didn’t make me wait 2 hours watching bad daytime tv. they saw me quickly,x-rayed and removed the hook.it was not too painful,even though they did have to push it through.i was really impressed. thanks!
Just like the ads on TV!
pics?
animal cruelty sucks…unless his lip hurts cause there is a 1/0 Owner Aki hook with a chinaback stuck in it

glad all worked out well for you.
did you see your “final” bill?
took son in their awhile back. it cost $842/second inside the building. ok, not exactly, but it was dam expensive, and they backdoor billed it, wouldn’t give me the straight up cost while he was there. got big bills weeks later. you ever try to dispute an unwanted, unauthorized catscan 6 weeks after the fact? for a broken bone no less?
but hey it’s cool, we all got insurance and whatknot. they act like it’s monopoloy $
had 2-3 very good experiences with them prior. but this last time, took it hard up #2 hole. never again. never again.
Poof?
Push the hook the rest of the way throught then cut it off, pull both pieces out.
no, i,ve not got the bill yet.i’m sure it may hurt more than the hook did. i thought for sure it was in the bone,or i may have tried pushing it through.i do have a pic on my phone, might try to retrieve it for a post.
Other than your thumb what did you catch on the trot line?
oh lord…well, needless to say, we left kinda early. came back the next day to find someone had cut it. so, we only caught one. i guess we were lucky for that,since there was no tension on the line.i only set it out 2 or 3 times a year.i’d rather catch em on a pole!
nason is a great joint, very quick and great friendly staff

They have free snacks and soda!!!
did ya’ll have any skin in the deal, or just hand em your card and let them bill your carrier?
just wonderin if you have any idea what the visit cost?
they are terribly nice.
20.00 co pay. i hope that’s the end of it.
Ive used them twice and had very good experiences. Short wait time and very professional staff. Its still cheaper than an emergency room visit and much quicker!
I hobbled in with an “ankle” injury a year and a half ago without crutches and left without crutches. They told me I had “some sort of Achillies tear”. Turns out it was a complete rupture of my Achillies. I will say it was a pleasant experience, the scenery wasn’t bad at all and good popcorn.

I remember when the doc was a tyke. His dad was a fraternity brother. Raised the boy all on his own as a single parent all the while carrying a full course load in school. Good to hear he has done well …
yeah, i liked him. it was the big guy on the comercial who removed the hook. he said he fishes.he said he’s removed hooks so big, he had to go buy bolt cutters.i wonder if he said that just to make me feel better.
he’s a nice guy and likes to offshore fish like the rest of us…has a nice boat (whaler)
yeah, i think he said he had a 28’ whaler.
DR Nason always tells me the soda and snacks are free to keep me unhealthy to keep me coming back. Asks me if I smoke (I don’t) and says if I did those were free of charge. I like his sense of humor and he is thorough.
