I'm really reluctant to recommend anyone do "bathroom surgery"... the finger, nail AND drill bit all have to be surgically clean, not just wiped off on your pants!

The best tool I've ever used to trephine (the technical term) a fingernail or toenail is essentially a fancy disposable soldering iron. It has a plastic sleeve containing a couple of batteries, and a tiny filament tip. Hit the button, tip heats orange, burn through the nail, blood comes out (sizzles on tip), patient feels better immediately.

It only hurts them if you are careless and go too deep. The fingernail has no nerves - but the nail bed and fingertip sure do, and are already angry.
(It's also silly to make them single-use. Nothing infectious could survive the 1700F temp).

My grandfather taught me to "thump it" when you smash a finger nail.

It keeps the blood flowing. It makes you about wet yourself but never turns black and never falls off.

Use your middle finger on your opposing hand like you would if you were going to "thump" a watermelon or someone on the head.

Lost my nail like that TWICE last year.

First time getting a window air conditioner out of a 2nd story window (our central air was down for a coupe weeks0> Started falling. I grabbed the cord and pinched my pointer finger against the sill.

Like 6 months later after the nail grew back I did something stupid again and new RIGHT away I was gonna have to grow a new one AGAIN.
