Knife slipped, prolly need a couple of stitches

Cut my left thumb, just below the joint, inside about 90 min ago. Sliced in pretty good. ) shaped cut. Bleeding only stopped with a lot of pressure and now a tightly wrapped band-aid. No urgent care centers around here open now and sure am not going to an ER on Sat night. Will see how things look in the morning. Any doctors or nurses out there know if I could wait till Mon morning and go to my doctor's office? I guess prolly not, but would save me some money.

Peroxide will burn, but if you just do it initially you should be fine with sticking to fresh band aids and neosporin.

At night leave it uncovered so it gets some air and dry out.

Going to bleed if I uncover it tonight I'm afraid.

Do they sell steri strips in drug stores? Might get them tomorrow AM if they do. Nothing open here tonight.

JOAT you need need to come take care of this. :)

tough call...if it's deep, you'll be challenged to keep it from bleeding all over your bed etc during the night. Probably should have stictched it...but easy for me to say....no co pay!

ER copay is $200 + 20%. Sat night in the ER...could sit there till tomorrow anyway.

Hasn't bleed through the band-aid in last 90 min. Going to wrap and splint it so I do not bend it overnight. See what I have when I wake up.

I hate the sight of blood, especially my own!

JOAT....don't know how you do the paramedic work. I really admire you! What you guys do is just amazing.

well, you should have 18-24 hours since the cut occured to get it stitched. I had a problem with a boating accident a few months ago...ended up not needing stitches, but it was worth the ER trip.

For a Saturday night, if you are in the Charlotte area, go to the new CMS on South Tryon close to Wylie. When I had to go, there was absolutely no one there and the one near Carolina Place was ridiculous.

edit: but of course this depends if you even are close to south charlotte

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
