I wasn't sure how to correctly clean the cut, so phoned NHS 111. Who very helpfully wouldn't tell me and told me to go to A&E. Rolling Eyes

A nurse phoned me back, and also told me to go to A&E.

We agreed I'd wash the cut out, and carefully bandage it, after I said I wasn't going to A&E. Also, I didn't agree that I'd go to A&E in the morning.

I thought A&E was bursting at the seams with timewasters, and non serious ailments, so I was puzzled that they seemed so keen on me going. I've had plenty of tetanus shots, I said I'd seek help if it looked like it was infected etc Confused


Am I missing something? Can't see any gashy goodness?


Stop being a faggot!

When I got gravel rash on the inside of my knee cap, I never went A&E, I went doctors about three days later and they said I had done a good enough job. Jumped in the shower and gave it a scrubbing whilst the adrenaline & shock was still kicking, so it didn't hurt.

I bought a antiseptic spray and applied it about 3-4 times a day and wore shorts until the scab fell off. Got a gnarly scar though, looks like a hole in my leg.

Young and stupid, wore all the gear on road bikes, on a off-road bike engine seized and threw me off, nothing but a lid. Laughing

Oh well, you'd better send a letter of complaint to the manufacturers (various) and tell them how bad their stuff is and how chuffin' dangerous it is. Pffffffffffffft.


No dangerous so much as it will delay healing and increase scarring.

It does what it says it does, ie kills bacteria.

Ever read the COSHH data sheet for phenol?
