I'm not the one who was trying to say there aren't any nerves in the finger tips, it was the attending PA! Can you believe that? If there weren't any nerves in the finger tips we wouldn't have the sensation of feel. I still don't know what he was thinking unless he was confused about my question. He may have thought I was asking about motor-sensory nerves which are located further down the finger. Anyway... alls well that ends well.
