Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi ladies, I cut my the tip of my finger pretty deep tonight (cutting a watermelon - missed the melon). It wouldn't stop bleeding so we went to the ER. I just got home!! Doc wouldn't do stitches - the nurse was upset and disagreed asking the doc 3 times to make sure. I have dermabond w/ steri-strips and a large metal gaurd w/ gauze wrap. Thank goodness no antibiotics! Question... the wanted to do a tetnus shot. I haven't had one since 95 but I lied and said I would like to check w/ my doctor to find out when I had the last tetnus (I am bad). They agreed not to give me one but said I needed one w/in 72 hrs of the cut. Any thoughts here? I surely don't want tetnus but if this will make me sick I don't want the shot. ERRRRR... I am torn, please help. Love, Clynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
