DON’T CALL: Small cuts
Accidents can always happen especially now that most of us are cooking more at home than ever. Sometimes even small cuts can appear to be more serious than they really are – and if you’re the type of person who panics right away, calling 911 might seem very tempting.
However, it’s best to refrain this instinct and contact your doctor’s office instead if you are worried. The doctor can evaluate the situation and guide you on how to clean, sanitize and apply a bandage to the cut.
ATTENTION! If you or another person have experienced a deep cut that won’t stop bleeding or is very large, you should definitely call the emergency line to avoid any risk of heavy bleeding or infection.
