Just gave myself a nasty cut on my thumb opening a can... How do you know if you need stitches πŸ€” 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 don’t 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

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
