An Aberdeenshire joiner has hit out after waiting nearly 24 hours to have a 3in nail removed from one of his fingers. John Milne went to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary's accident and emergency department to have the nail removed but, after becoming increasingly frustrated, he left 22 hours later with it still in his finger. It was eventually taken out in a matter of minutes by his local GP. He said the hospital told him he needed to see a plastic surgeon.
