Loading ...The treatments back then, either way getting cut by a old rusty object, in river like that no less. At least it’s a cold river. Your lucky you have a foot. It may have been salt water back then that they soaked your foot in. They used iodine too and Mercurochrome, remember that. Not that I would have been old enough to be a nurse but a child then but I stepped on something too, but in the ocean. Some idiots broken beer bottle. I was medically covered but wound up in a military hospital. Those stories you hear from back in those days, including pain, their true. I was lucky I had a nurse with more common sense than the doctor if he would of overdosed me on sedatives when I was just shaking from the cold after swimming then going into a cold room and maybe a bit of blood loss and only needed a blanket. I needed stitches and cut a nerve and that’s where he put the needle in. I had to soak my foot in salt water. Salt water has some benefits though say if you had a infection where puss or even blood poisoning where you see the veins turn red with a warm salty compress to draw it out although you still need antibiotics.
