Kim Kardashian had a scary bathroom incident recently that left her injured. On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim shared that she accidentally cut off the tips of her index and middle finger on her left hand while closing her shower door. The Skims founder revealed her bandaged hand on camera and described the moment she saw the blood and bone sticking out, causing her to fall to the ground in shock. She compared the pain to childbirth and shared her doctor’s concern that her nails might not grow back. To aid in her healing, Kim underwent four hours of hyperbaric medicine, a treatment using oxygen at high pressure levels. Despite the progress, Kim joked about the lack of time for daily treatments. Fortunately, her doctor assured her that her hand is healing well and won’t require amputation. Despite the scare, Kim is on the road to recovery and even poked fun at her injured fingers looking like the “Saw 2” logo.
