Doctor shares handy hack to remove rings
Registrar Dr Scott Taylor showcased his 'nifty trick' to remove a ring on medical TV show 'Emergency'
Victorian emergency registrar Dr Scott Taylor has shared a “very much off-label” hack for for removing rings from swelling fingers in a medical television series.
In a recent episode of Nine Entertainment’s show ‘Emergency’, Dr Taylor, of Royal Melbourne Hospital, decided to use a “nifty little trick” he’d picked up, not from a seasoned consultant, but from YouTube.
A patient called Debra had come into the ED with what he suspected was a broken wrist.
Dr Scott wanted to remove her wedding band before the swelling increased, but when Debra winced in pain at the first attempt, he decided it was time for the hack.
