We are taught to test the weight of heavy packages so I loosely grabbed one end and it fell directly on the tip of my ring finger on my left hand. Immediate pain. Loaded the f***** thing and went home.

My finger swelled and I went to one of those urgent care places the next day. They drilled a hole in my nail to relieve the pressure and did an x-ray. My fingertip bone had cracked almost in two, split down the middle. Unfortunately there isn't anything they can do for that so I was sent home with some pain meds, which I didn't take, and it healed over time. Unfortunately the nerve healed funny and now when it gets to be about 30 degrees F or colder, if I even brush that finger against something I feel intense pain for about a minute.
OUCH, my brother done that to his middle finger. It happened on PE class in school when catching a not so soft softball. It hit the end of his finger and it broke the bone on the end of his finger.

He was a really good second baseman and had a good bat. After that he had to quit playing baseball because he had no feeling in his finger and could no longer throw a baseball. He could throw but couldn't hit the side of the barn standing next to it.
