Good evening. i accidentally drilled into my hand while making things. it's bleeding quite a bit but i still have use in my hand. what should i do? is there any after hours doctors in the area?

See a Dr: Because there are so many nerves, blood vessels and important ligaments in your hand, you need to have this injury thoroughly examined and the bleeding attended to. Check the internet or a local directory to find after hours urgent care or emergency departments. Until you get there, apply pressure to the bleeding and keep it elevated about your heart.
