Hi, my mother shut her little finger in her car door by mistake yesterday and since then it has not stopped bleeding. The nail has split near the bottom of her finger and she said it came right off when the accident happened but she has pushed it back down. Yesterday I made her hold her hand above her heart on a load of pillows and a pack of frozen peas for a couple of hours before bed time which helped the blood start thicken but it has never stopped bleeding yet.
