-- Posted by Anonymous at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 What does it take for a cut to wind you up in the ER? -- Posted by qi at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 If it is life threatening. -- Posted by Molfsontan at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Too big for you to do to yourself.  It is not worth it. -- Posted by I like tuhtles at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I'm not falling for it this time. No more getting warned for me. -- Posted by Fentastic at 11:49 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I'd call 911 for a paper cut. -- Posted by NEGATIVE0 at 11:50 am 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? -- Posted by dreamweaver 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. -- Posted by Trendz 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 -- Posted by Chiefette 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.   -- Posted by churnfulkiler 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. -- Posted by mandieelovess 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. -- Posted by Lulamae at 11:55 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Too big for you to stop the bleeding or if you think it will become infected. -- Posted by Joep0113 at 11:57 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Its all about location location location -- Posted by princess timz at 11:58 am on Nov. 19, 2008 just deep, until you got loads of blood dripping out. -- Posted by Blingblingbrie 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 -- Posted by Catacomb at 12:07 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 if you need to ask, its probably not serious enough
