    I cannot thank you enough for this video!!! I have been trying this method since morning but in all videos it shows that the ring comes of in one pull, but this one works multiple times on finger gradually taking it off which is the smartest. I am so happy, you literally saved me. God bless you!

      Same here, i was able to do it using your method. Every other video made it look like it should do in one attempt and it was not working for me. Doing it multiple times like this video saved me from a trip to the doctor. Thank u so much.

    My 18ct wedding ring had to be cut off in the Accident and Emergency Department after I had an accident. The medical staff tried to remove the ring unsuccessfully with soap and water but it was necessary to cut it off as the finger became extremely swollen and discoloured.The jeweller had to insert a piece of gold for the repair as the repeated attempts to cut the ring off left the edges quite damaged.

    • @RobertoMikiMD
      @RobertoMikiMD  10 місяців тому +1

      Damage to rings is not unusual but the alternative of losing a finger makes it justifiable. The technique shown here is sometimes difficult to perform in the hustle and bustle of an ER. Hopefully, more people and physicians will see this technique and adopt it.

      @RobertoMikiMD I have used the method you demonstrated with very thin ribbon on a different occasion.
      After the ring was removed, I had surgery to replace the radial head of my elbow. I managed to have a bad fall on the way to my Doctors practice of all places!!

    Rendam pake Air Es,,,?
    Untuk beberapa menit
    Hingga telapak dn jari jari terasa dingin
    Dan tangan lansung angkat ke atas posisi jari lurus ? Biarkan tangan posisi ke atas , 5 - 10 menit
    Kemudian di beri pelumas,,dan tangan tetap posisi di atas jari jari tetap lurus?
    Dn putar cincin pelan pelan
    Sambil memposisi kan cincin agar kulit tidak tertarik ,,? Maka cincin bisa di lepas,,,dan tidak menyiksa??

      You can try a different type of dental floss or use a string. You can also use a ribbon. You may need to get a ring cutter.
