I'm at the ER. I had an initial exam, and now I'm waiting for further consultation. This ought to be an outpatient procedure. More soon.
UPDATE: I got examined by a different nurse in a different exam room. She seemed disappointed that there was no pus coming out of either wound on my toe (there are two wounds, one big and one small). She said the lack of pus would make taking a culture difficult, but they would try anyway, then bandage me up, then prescribe me meds, then either ask me to come back to the clinic once they've got the culture results or visit my local doc after Chuseok break to check my progress.
UPDATE 2: A guy just came in to take a culture, and he also noted there was no pus. They're trying to take a "Gram stain" instead of a regular culture by lightly rubbing my wounds with a cotton swab. Not long from now, they'll re-dress my toe, print out a prescription, and send me on my way.
