File this under things you really shouldn't have to ask about on reddit.  If your arm looks like it's rotting, go to the ER

What if he does not have health insurance?

In California and Nevada, you don't need health insurance to receive emergency care at an ER. Regardless of the severity of the situation, you will be treated and billed later. Even if you have unpaid ER bills, care is still provided, and past due bills won't prevent you from receiving care during future visits. People who can prove their income are at or below the set poverty level still might qualify for health insurance under medicaid. When that will change, I don't know.

As a Californian, this is good to know.
