      Hey, uh, don’t glue deep wounds. If it’s going past the subcutaneous fat–and you should be able to see the fat layer if it’s a deep cut, assuming you can slow the bleeding enough–use staples. You can get a cheap, disposable, sterile, pre-loaded surgical stapler off Amazon, or lots of other, more reputable sites. Glue seals everything in, and when you finally get medical attention, it’s going to be a bitch to remove if the wound needs to be irrigated or debrided. Staples pop off quickly and with minimal discomfort.

      If it’s actually spurting/spraying blood, get a tourniquet on as high and tight as possible, pack the wound with gauze (or a t-shirt), put direct pressure on it, and get to an ER immediately, regardless of the cost.

        I sense an influencer’s “we put Amazon one day delivery to the ultimate test!” vid dropping soon.

    Oh wow I thought getting stitches could literally mean “getting stabbed”.
