Please tell me what to do with a stab wound if there's no clinic/hospital nearby?

A stab wound: May need to be explored. Tetanus shot may be needed. I would find a way to make it to medical care.

Depends: Depends where you have been stabbed, what with, and how long ago. If you have not been trained in field or combat medical care, you will need to find somebody who has and ask for help. Hospital always if available. If you are just "wondering" what to do and have not been stabbed, consider attending basic medical care course from red cross, then expand to more advanced courses via local colleges.
