I got shrapnel in an eye and they put some aesthetic drops in the eye and I watched him cut the bits out with a fine scalpel. A bit disconcerting to feel the light pressure on the eye and knowing he was cutting but there was no after effects although I did have to keep it covered for a couple of...

Stabilising yourself is a simple process and well worth the input in time and $. I dont do any handles now that I avent stabilised. Have a shipment of giraffe bone coming through customs at the moment and will run that through the tank as well
