Lawzy!!! That is one nasty happening! My nephew was in a bus accident (so sad, a young man committed suicide by driving head-first into a school bus). As a result, my nephew, sitting in the back seat, flew the furthest and ended up with three pins in his hand (no pinky though ;-) ). He is also dysphasic (on the Autism spectrum) and things are very matter of fact to him. When the doctor pulled out the first pin, his eyes widened like saucers and he was very stoic. Apparently was quite painful for him! Of course, the doctor, a tiny woman, had to brace her foot against the bed to pull...
So very glad you mighty pinky is on the mend!!
Thanks, @dalerog. Apparently, the pin-pulling-out thing is usually not that painful (although it's certainly unpleasant). But patients regularly pass out when it's done. Suicide by smashing into a schoolbus? How horrific. Committing suicide is one thing, but to deliberately harm others doing so is unforgivable.
That's what Shane (my nephew) said. He said: "Why would anyone DO that?" I like to think the boy was not thinking... or that he figured the bus was so big, no one would get harmed. We'll never know...
