i need stitches
    #7899298 -

I cut myself at work today.. didn't seem that major, but 7 hours later and it's still bleeding.. definately stitches material. I have insurance and could go to the hospital to get a few stitches to stop the bleeding.. but, it's 11:30 on a friday night in the five boroughs... not exactly a great time to be visiting the hospital.

I guess i'll just keep changing the band-aids and try and make it to the pharmacy for some of that liquid skin shit tomorrow..

what a drag.

You should at least get some gauze, and put some duct tape over the top or something to make your skin come back together. If you think you need stitches, at least half-ass it until you can do something about it.

I cut the living shit out of myself on a beer bottle a few years ago on the way to work and it bled the entire hour drive. When I got there a dude told me to super glue it and it worked fantastically. It was hardware store glue too.

It depends on where your cut is, but I'd say you'll be fine without stitches as long as you can seal the wound somehow and keep it from bleeding. The rest your body will do for you. Gute Besserung!

Tourniquet it in such a way that it doesn't cut off blood flow. Meaning, get a rag, yes a rag, clean dish rag of some kind and apply, then tape with some strong tape, like duct or packing tape, whatever. Wrap it with the tape but not so tight that it hurts even just a little.

Elevate the part that is injured so that blood is not rushing directly into it. Go to the hospital as soon as you can.

I do believe that I have an authority on this subject, if anyone cares to confirm who recalls my adventures some months ago.....I assure you, I have been directly there. But it was my own fault.....

Seriously, super glue is your best bet for a quick solution. Combat-medics even use it for quickly closing wounds.

Wasnt super glue originally developed for medics in the Vietnam Conflict so that they could stop the bleeding from gunshot wounds?

EDIT:

Well, according to WIKI it was developed much earlier WWII but I guess there was a kernel of truth to that:

Medical uses

The use of cyanoacrylate glues in medicine was considered fairly early on. Eastman Kodak and Ethicon began studying whether the glues could be used to hold human tissue together after surgery. In 1964, Eastman submitted an application to use cyanoacrylate glues to seal wounds to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon afterward Dr. Harry Coover's glue did find use in Vietnam—reportedly in 1966, cyanoacrylates were tested on-site by a specially trained surgical team, with impressive results. In an interview with Dr. Coover by the Kingsport Times-News, Coover said that the compound demonstrated an excellent capacity to stop bleeding, and during the Vietnam War, he developed disposable cyanoacrylate sprays for use in the battlefield.
“ If somebody had a chest wound or open wound that was bleeding, the biggest problem they had was stopping the bleeding so they could get the patient back to the hospital. And the consequence was—many of them bled to death. So the medics used the spray, stopped the bleeding, and were able to get the wounded back to the base hospital. And many, many lives were saved. ”

—Dr. Harry Coover

The original Eastman formula was not FDA approved for medical use, however, because of a tendency to cause skin irritation and to generate heat. In 1998 the FDA approved 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for use in closing wounds and surgical incisions. Closure Medical has developed medical cyanoacrylates such as Dermabond, Soothe-N-Seal and Band-Aid Liquid Adhesive Bandage.
