Silly question - do I go to the doctor, or down to A&E? Can I just tape it closed, and not bend my finger till it's healed?

It woud be a shame to amutate it as it woud cause robems with my touch tying.

I don't know. I just googled to try and find out and the first link I found made me feel a bit queasy. This info is a bit less horrific..

I'd get yourself to your doctor's surgery to have a look at it. It'll probably just need the practise nurse to have a look at it, and she (or he if you have that rare thing, a male one) may just clean it and put a plaster on it.

At least a herb chopper, assuming you were using it for its designed purpose, is less likely to infect than a general food knife.

Last time I needed to see the nurse there was a ten-day wait for appointments ;-)

I'll go, but I might be crap and wait until Tuesday as I'm waiting for a phone call return, a large delivery of chocolate, and am meeting Anne at 3pm. I'll give it one more day of home cleaning and plastering.

Have you an NHS walk in centre closer? I tend to just go there now, although that's mostly because I'm just 10 minutes walk from one.

*looks* There's one in Peterborough, I think that's closest... but I would almost pass my Doctor on the way to the train station, so I think I'll stick with that.

There's one in Ely, but it's a long way from the train station. If it's still bleeding, it needs looking at.

It has largely stopped bleeding, but started again for a bit a couple of times when I did something strenuous with the hand, like pulling shoelaces tight. Now I've noticed, I'm being more careful!
