Wow!!!
That is the stupidest malpractice joke a drunken doctor must have played on you. Putting a staple at a knuckle joint ???? Every bend will move the staple around shift the wound edges back and forth ect...ect...
maybee if the finger was imobilised with a splint. At this stage I'd take tweesers and slip them in the staple and open. They spread and remove easy. irrigate the cut with alcahol, peroxide ect, and crazy glue it. the hospital uses a sterile version but I've got dollar store crazy glue in my malpracticed forehead right now. try to apply the glue when the wound is closed so it isn't inside much but on top of the skin. get a splint if ya can, it'll heal better. Slap a butterfly bandage on top if you have just to keep it drawn togethed. It's gonna constantly want to oppen up at the joint of course. get the splint even if you use a popsicle stick.
Just realised you got this advice already. It's the way dude. They shoukd have sutured and glued it with a splint in the first place. Go and show it to another doc. first. love to hear what he'll say. if it stays together the left side skin'll peel off. sometimes the cut just peels back the layers of sin till it's as deep as the cut instaed of trying to stay together. That part of skin is dead already.
Maybee I'll tell ya my tale of 14 staples down the forehaed failing, abad stich job failure and.....another time
