If you go to the doctor and have a hole in your arm do they stitch it

Most wounds that require closure should be stitched, stapled, or closed with skin adhesives (also called liquid stitches) within 6 to 8 hours after the injury. Some wounds that require treatment can be closed as long as 24 hours after the injury.

I copied and pasted this cuz I was too lazy to actually write it

Answer: It depends how the hole occurred. If you have a bullet hole or were stabbed for example the wound will be routinely cleansed and stitched, also depends how deep the hole is. It may need stitches and will have to be properly bandaged.

I hope you are ok and if someone you know has a hole i hope they are ok too.
