 I won't be detailed. But what do you do when you've cut deeper then you should have, but you'll have no idea what you'd say to medial staff if you went to the hospital or ER? Can you just not say how you got the cut? Or do you have to say something? |

they can't force you to say anything, but they will probably really press you to find out. they might think it is someone else hurting you so they would want to know. either way, GO to the hospital

They'll really bug you to tell them. It's easiest just to be honest. They'll probably toss you in a "quiet room" (where they put the loud drunks, etc, where a cop can keep an eye on them till they get checked out), but that's a small price to pay.
You have a very small window to get stitches -- go soon, if you haven't already. |

(((((((Griffe))))))))))) please get yourself to a doctor if you need it. Yeah, I've heard that they can be rather pushy. Good luck.

Have you got many scars? When I have needed medical treatment after hours (I usually wait til I can see my own GP) I just say that I have a cut that I need looked at; show them, and then all my other scars are exposed. The staff ask questions but I just say that I will contact my nurse the next day, that I am safe, and if I need help I will pick up the phone. This usually reassures them enough.
(((((griffe))))) good luck.

Yes, get medical treatment if it is bad enough.
I always hated going to the ER for things because they'd take blood and ask me all about my scars and everything...it totally sucked.
