This patient, who had recently buried her husband who was a WWII POW vet, said she started wearing one of his rings in memory of him, in addition to the four rings she already wore. Unfortunately, this fifth ring contained nickel, causing an allergic reaction and severe swelling in her. This prevented her from taking off any of the rings and risked cutting off all circulation to her finger.
