Thanks, all. It didn't take much more thought and I decided to page the doctor and ask him if he thought it could wait for an appointment or not. He thought not. It wasn't my own doc who was on-call, but I did admit to him the cut was self-inflicted with a razor blade. So...I eventually and *barely* was able to get there yesterday. I forgot about the almost non-existant weekend bus service and cut-in-half train schedule when I told the doc which ER I would go to. The ER doc looked at it, had it cleaned, gave me a prescripton for oral antibiotics and I left. Now my problem is getting back. I will have to stay in town here for another night and go back on the bus tomorrow when they are all running. I can't get my antibiotic filled till then.
