  • A glass piece got into my foot. What should I do next?

    I am glad you were able to get the piece of glass out! If the wound is very deep or you have any loss of sensation or function, you should go immediately to the ER. If there is no loss of sensation or resultant weakness from the injury and it doesn't look too deep, you should clean the wound and bandage it. You may also need a tetanus booster if it has been more than 10 years since your last tetanus shot. Contact your family doctor and get in to see them in the next week or so. Best, Dr. L READ MORE

I'd recommend seeing your family doc for an evaluation and exam. Best, Dr. L READ MORE
