Oh dear, that must have hurt real bad, Meiko.. What did you do to end up like this?

Well, like I said..

You can't leave it like that, alright? We have to fix it before the condition worsens.

Hang on - what'd you just say? And what are you doing over there!?

We're fixing you, of course. First we'll have to remove the splinted nail.

Leave it like that too long and it'll start rotting.

So, don't worry. A little pain and it'll be all over.
