    Default What do you think I should do?

    Hey guys

    Was changing a tyre on the celica and it was so worn it had metal bits sticking out n I cut myself open on my hand in a couple of places..

    When I told dad he recommended a tetnis shot.

    What do you think? Should I see a doctor?

    People often forget about tetanus or think it is not serious. If you can't recall having your last shot, it is better to be safe rather than sorry.
    No harm done if your Doctor doesn't think you require a shot.

    Get the shot, and ffs replace that wheel :P

    Seriously though never know what your car has ran over, could be rabid animals, anything - better to be hurting for a 'lil bit then need to get your arm amputated (alright I'm being dramatic)

    Doctor will probably give you a tetanus shot anyway, a few years back I was working as a wood machinist and sliced the top off the middle finger of my left hand and they gave me the shot as a precaution despite it not being 10 years between shots
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?

    That would explain why I got the other shot as the last one I had would have been the child shot

    I severed my finger badly a few months ago on a tractor, saw bone and was rushed to hospital, I had no tetnus shots though, but I did end up having plastic surgery!

    You would have had a shot, along with antibiotics, you just weren't aware tetanus was included. With physical injuries requiring surgery they give you a shot even if you had one the day before.
