You're bleeding. What did you do to yourself?
I just slipped and fell against the door. I think the door handle must have cut me.
Well, looks pretty nasty. Do you think you should go to A&E?
No, I don't think so. I'll just clean it up, put a dressing on it, and it'll be fine.
All right, let's see now. Take this towel and make sure you keep pressure on it. Okay? Do you have any disinfectant?
Yeah, somewhere. I'll look for it in a minute.
Are you sure you don't want to go to hospital? It's quite a big cut. I think it might need stitches.
Well, let's stop the bleeding and get it clean, and then we can have a proper look. Something like that won't heal well if you don't get stitches. You'll have a bad scar.
Yeah, but you know what it's like at A&E. We'll have to wait for hours.
At least we need to check that it's clean and there's no dirt or anything inside it. If it gets infected, you'll have a serious problem.
Oh, I suppose you're right. Okay, let's put a dressing on it, then we can go.
