HELP! My husband cut his radial artery at work........

Advertisements [?]

I think it's the radial artery, anyway. It's the major one on the outside of the thumb. We got the bleeding to stop by applying pressure, and as long as he keeps it bandaged, it won't bleed (and we aren't cutting off the circulation), but I need to know if it's necessary that he go to the hospital for surgery, or will just using pressure suffice? He has no health insurance.
