What do you do when you have a splinter of glass in your hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glass: Sometimes, genlty pulling a credit card or similar flat edged item across the skin may flip the piece of glass out. Don't squeeze skin or it may embed further. Seek medical attention if you are not able to remove it.
