Replies Catacomb Posted at 12:07 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 if you need to ask, its probably not serious enough Blingblingbrie Posted at 11:59 am on Nov. 19, 2008 You would have to be pretty dang stupid to wind up in the ER if you were doin that yerself princess timz Posted at 11:58 am on Nov. 19, 2008 just deep, until you got loads of blood dripping out. Joep0113 Posted at 11:57 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Its all about location location location Lulamae Posted at 11:55 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Too big for you to stop the bleeding or if you think it will become infected. mandieelovess Posted at 11:54 am on Nov. 19, 2008 If it hit a nerve, if it won't stop bleeding, if your hand becomes numb, or you feel faint. churnfulkiler Posted at 11:52 am on Nov. 19, 2008 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. Chiefette Posted at 11:51 am on Nov. 19, 2008 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.   Trendz Posted at 11:51 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from negative0 at 2:50 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 a big fuckin' cut.   do any of us look like we've completed the mcats, or have a degree? or even doctorate? 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 dreamweaver Posted at 11:50 am on Nov. 19, 2008 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.

Fentastic Posted at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I'd call 911 for a paper cut. I like tuhtles Posted at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I'm not falling for it this time. No more getting warned for me. Molfsontan Posted at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Too big for you to do to yourself.  It is not worth it. qi Posted at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 If it is life threatening.
