Oh I’ve never got close to needing a tourniquet, but it seems like there is a line somewhere in the middle that looks like it’s probably ok but should actually be seen by a professional.

I’ve done multiple first aid courses over my life. I’ve learnt CPR, abdominal thrusts, and even did an outdoor first aid course where they taught us how to keep people alive when help was 24 hours away. I’ve been taught how to dress wounds, but the assumption for all of these was that someone is in imminent need of help. There was nothing (that I remember) about how deep of a cut requires a visit to the emergency room.
Though you raise a good point, the last course I did was 15 years ago, I should probably do a refresher.
I’m not in the US, but I’m also not sure when in my life I should have been taught when to seek help.
In her defence, I have no idea when I should go to the ER. I am pretty clumsy and do a lot of cooking, so am forever stabbing myself.
I often wonder to myself at what point I would need assistance.

I guess this is the paradox of tolerance in action.
