I smacked my head on an angle iron on the ship once and needed stitches it was so deep. Not that much blood. I have sewed up many a scalp wound and the bleeding was minimal. You want to bleed like a stuck pig then cut your forehead. One of the deck guys came in with a 3mm superficial wound right above his eyebrow and it looked like he was bleeding out. We cleaned him up and he didn't even get a band aid.
But Vesta is as much of an expert as nads.
Nope no expert in anything, but I did work in an emergency room in training but my best learning came from having two boy critters.
Do not bleed on the carpets, go to the kitchen so after I tend to you, I can clean up the mess. Need to go to ER-- wrap the wound in a White towel, don't matter how busy the ER is, bring in a child with blood coming through the towel, instant service.
Be prepared night and day to have a boy critter break an arm leg, or their head. Not an easy life for parents that have to get use to the bo-bo's of their kids. We tend to forget that our own parents had to face us in out childhood the same way we have to face our own kids.-----Don't bleed on the carpets.
No way an expert on any darn thing in life BUT that does not preclude thinking on other matters.
EXAMPLE--------Say you are walking down the street in a gated comunity that you are visiting in.
AGE 15-77 years old and just visiting family. A dark and Stormie night light rain and only a few blocks to the home you are staying at. You notice that a car is very slowly following you, Why, who are they???
So you pull out your cell phone and call someone to tell them you are scared and they tell you to RUN.
So you do and out of the night comes the stalker to demand you do as they say. Now what, stand your ground and get ready to have a good old fight or run away and question your manhood day later.
Wonder what would have happend if under the hood was a Woman, one that took no shit from anyone. But, But I thought it was a man, a bit younger then myself and when she refused to answer my questions she pushed me down and I boinked my head on the cement, darn this unarmed woman wants to kill me, so I had no choice but to defend myself.
I do not care for the wounds received by an aggressor, some one comes up to you and threatens you, you in some way fight back be it a word or a punch in the nose or even try to leave but the aggressor has a hold of you.
Survival you fight back, then the aggressor pulls a gun on you and kills you. The aggressor claims self defence since you chose to fight back ????
Interesting law here, needs bit of tweeking here and there to protect people from the agressors---bullys---that bitch that they punched a stranger in the face and the stranger broke their arms and legs so they managed to shoot him.
Interesting new world today, an agressor who starts a fight and if the other does not lay down like a dog and take it and tries to fight back, the agressor has the right to kill them in self defence ????
