Just gave myself a nasty cut on my thumb opening a can... How do you know if you need stitches π€ quite a lot of blood
put a bandaid on 15 min pressure and elevation if it is still bleeding get a professional for amputation
Rule of uh, thumb: if you ain't sure, get a professional opinion
I donβt think they like stitching finger print parts. Get some of those butterfly clip bandaids?? Also, fucking ouch!
Still oozing a bit but doesn't seem too deep. Think I'll just see how it goes
spoiler
looks like the cut took a chunk of meat out too
No wonder breakfast tastes so good
saved a sample for lab grown meat too, force steak should be ready tomorrow
Fucking hell boost still doesn't support spoilers and I was not prepared for this
Is it still going? If it is, I'd call the nurse on call. They'll ask some questions and advise if you should go in to hospital. Imo (not a doctor), that doesn't really look stitchable, your primary concern is probably infection, so antiseptic and gauze is probably what you need
Edit: I read 42 as 12. If it's still going now after over an hour, you should definitely call NoC
