Whether or not you should call 911 if you see blood, burns and other everyday accidents - Parenting.com
In the following circumstances, your child may not need the emergency room, says Decatur, Georgia's Martin Belson, M.D., a pediatric emergency room physician. Call your baby's doctor first for:
• A dog bite by a familiar dog (intact skin)
• A fall or blow to the head without loss of consciousness, vomiting, or swelling
• A burn that isn't on the hands or feet, if the skin isn't charred or blistered
• A minor cut if you've been able to stop the bleeding and get the dirt out
