Could i die if i get a deep enough cut anywhere on my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A deep enough cut: Over an artery could be fatal. If you are having thoughts about killing yourself, get seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the national suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255) for support. If you are not suicidal but self harm - please look >.
