Yea, Zeph... I'm with you. I'm a college student as well, and try not to spend too much. But then even with insurance, I don't really go to the doctor for anything as simple as a glass sliver.
I get slivers (or used to) from all sorts of things, thorns, rough cut lumber, steel, glass, etc. Each and every one of them, no matter how deep, I got out with the same trusty pocket knife I do everything with... Clean nails, cut wood, rope, baler twine, etc... Not a bit of disinfectant in sight. Unless you count wiping it across the pant leg of my work jeans disinfectant. And I've never got an infection.
We are too paranoid and doctor dependant these days.
