Any doctors/nurses around? Cut leg

3 replies

So I've just managed to cut my leg on my bike. Chain came off and as I was getting off the spiky bit the chain sits on went into my leg. It's a small gash but quite deep and bled q bit. Am worried as the metal is fairly rusty. Have cleaned it up and put a dressing on but wondering if I need a tetanus shot? Had my last one around 15 years ago. Wouldn't be able to get to the doctors until Tuesday. If I need one should it be sooner?
TIA

Ring 111 and see what they say. Do you think it may need a stitch?

No, don't think so. It's knitting together ok and stopped bleeding quite quickly. Will give them a ring, thanks.
