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.
