My son has a 2-inch vertical gash on the inside of his lower arm, approximately 1/2 inch deep. It was cleaned, taped, and bandaged by a nurse yesterday. I'm concerned about the depth and whether he needs immediate hospital treatment for potential tendon or nerve damage. Should we wait until Monday to see our family doctor, or does this require urgent care? If there is damage to nerves or tendons, is it irreversible, or does the time delay affect the possibility of treatment?
