Does This Cut Require An Urgent Care Clinic Or The Emergency Room?
First things first, if you or someone your with is cut, elevate the wound and apply direct pressure. Only apply a tourniquet if the blood flow is out of control, and never remove a tourniquet that has been applied. Next, whether you need to go to the ER or an urgent care center, have someone else drive you if possible. And lastly, if you feel this is an emergency, dial 9-1-1.
