A member asked:
If i got part of a diabetes lancet stuck inside my finger will i die? and what should i do?

Life: No. Not at all. In most cases, if the foreign body does not come out immediately it will be pushed out as the skin ages. If it gets infected or if pain persists then your doctor may pull it out with a minor surgery.
