This happened in late March.
She applied direct pressure (she's a nurse) and I immediately drove her to the the local urgent care, which was open that Sunday evening. We arrived around 5:15!
They took her in quickly and the doctor used 10 stitches. The nail is a wait-and-see situation. The fingertip is still numb but seems to be healing great.
BTW- I was amazed that the dish cloth she pressed on the wound had very little blood- probably less than an ounce! Direct pressure was the reason, I'm sure.
I (we) had never been cautioned about this but it was a tough lesson-learned!
Thanks for the well wishes.
