i was under the stairs looking for this box, and i cut myself on the shoulder. Its about the length of my shoulder and about 1/3 of an inch thick. Its pretty deep too. Should i get stiches?

You should first think about the last time you had a tetnus shot. If you are up to date (I think its 7 years), and you don't want to go to the hospital, go to the drug store and buy butterfly stitches. The look like skinny band-aids and work great. Oh, by the way you have 24 to get real stitches if you decide to get them done.

Put a bandaid on it and save the medical expense.

um it also depends on how deep the cut itself is.
