Passing meds

I was assisting [REDACTED] in giving room 517 a bath. I was pushing a towel under his scrotum to catch water from the bath and there was a very loud pop and I immediately pulled back my hand. I caught my breath for a minute and the discomfort didn 't pass so I took off my glove and my right middle finger was deformed and I couldn 't straighten it.
