I was trying to cut a fish and the knife slipped when I was slicing it open and I cut my thumb. It's down the middle all they way to the hard bone. What should I do? It hurts like....Do you think I need to call 911? I don't think so. But it's bleeding a lot and it isn't stopping.

You should bandage you thumb tightly to stem the blood and go to your emergency department and hey! Don't forget to get someone to wipethe blood of your keyboard while you go LOL

You should get to the emergency room, before you lose to much blood. You need to run it under cold water, while you pinch your thumb to minimize bleeding. Once the blood is rinsed off, you should keep squeezing your thumb. If the bleeding stops soon, then should try to put somehydrogen peroxcide on it. It probably won't stop bleeding enough for that. You wiil most likely need stitches, so get in your car and go to the Emergeny Room. Don't rush, and be careful, while driving, wrap your thumb in a cloth or something. Tightly. It will only be temporary. Good Luck.

Put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding and get yourself to the hospital to get it stiched.Obviously u need to call 911 coz steel knives can be poisonous.

omg! the knife sure slipped real deep.

erm erm if you still can walk, then go to your neighbourhood clinic. (if there is)
alternatively, you can bandage the cut yourself. wash it under water and put some lotion. (if there is a first-aid kit in your house)
or alteralternatively, call someone for help.

kudos to you able to type even though your thumb is hurting.

great that you can still type, and that the first thing you thought to do was to share the story with us.
see a doctor or go to the hospital

you need to go to the doctor ASAP if you wait too long the wound won't be able to be closed because of infection, stop waiting for answers and go to the emergency room NOW..
