Too big for you to do to yourself.  It is not worth it.

If you can't get it to stop bleeding, GO. If it looks like it won't heal right, GO.

Not only you should be interested in whether or not you need stitches, but you need to think about the infection as well.

it's funny how you say doctorate like it's a low degree lol

but yeah if it's life threatening and an emergency and the bleeding needs to stop immediately

It isn't the depth, it's the type of cut.  If it has been more than 24 hours, don't bother going for stitches.  If you needed it cleaned or need a tetanus shot go.

the size and amount of blood really dont matter. as long as it is deep enough or cut severly enough to the point where u cannot get the bleeding to stop then you should go to the er.

If it hit a nerve, if it won't stop bleeding, if your hand becomes numb, or you feel faint.

Too big for you to stop the bleeding or if you think it will become infected.
