'It cost Kyle $200 and an 'I told you so'': Guy chickens out of a DIY fishing injury hack from his experienced brother-in-law, pays the price at the emergency room instead

In America, one upside to having subpar healthcare coverage is that you get really good at taking care of minor scrapes, bruises, and breaks. For many of us, a trip to the emergency room is truly a last resort and would never be considered unless your life is on the line. However, the man in our next story, was willing to rush into the arms of a pricey hospital at the drop of a hat, never considering that his experienced brother-in-law had the perfect health hack to save him.

On a boy's trip into the wilderness, these two men gathered for the sake of their wives. With almost nothing in common, they agreed to get to know each other a little better since their wives were sisters, so these in-laws took to the lake to get in some quality time together over a fishing rod and some fresh brewskies. Their little bonding trip took a turn for the worse when one of the guys got a fishing hook lodged in his thumb. Horrified at the spike jutting from his finger, he fearfully screamed for his bro-in-law to take him to the ER immediately! Little did he know, this experienced fisherman had mended his fair share of fishing hook injuries over the years and was prepared to perform backwoods surgery on the thumb to save him the trouble.

He refused, insisting on getting rushed to the emergency room.

After a procedure that went down exactly how his brother-in-law intended to take care of the wound, the guy was branded a chicken and received a whopping 'I told you so' from his new favorite bro alongside a hefty hospital bill.
