I once saw a guy nail his hand to a wall with a big ol 16 penny ringshank l, they had to cut him loose with a sawzall. Hoo boy you heard him holler.
I always combined this scene, that memory, and the one time I stepped on a nail in Boy Scouts into one “respect the presence of pointy things” lesson/memory
As far as I understand you don’t really want to remove something that stabbed you yourself if possible since it’s slowing down how fast you’re bleeding. Better let the medics remove it themselves
Even the medics save removing that shit for the hospital unless absolutely necessary. We even go so far as to add stuff to the puncture to make sure the offending object stays stable during transport. Source: am medic
Yup, medics will just wrap the entire hand in tape and gauze to keep it stable, then transport to the hospital. Because it’s always possible that removal will require surgery, so they want to be near an operating room before they try.
Just brutal.

Why didn’t you guys just remove the nail instead of cutting his hand off?

Just realized I misread your comment, oops

To serve as a lesson for all the other builders of course.
