Was cutting my thumb open necessary?

Or could i just have pushed this out and skipped the trip to the hospital. I wasnt able to pull it out because of the micro barb and the hospital immediately said we have to cut it open and get it out. It didnt bother me that much as the scar stayed minimal. But i wasnt able to go fishing for two weeks.
