When I cut my arm in a car accident, the ER nurse kept taking off the bandage just to look at the wound.
I’m glad I didn’t know about blood clots being destroyed, or I would have wondered why she was doing it.

I wish they’d do a video explaining what to do when you see someone vomiting blood. That’s what happened to my sister when she was 7 and I was 13.

To this day, I remember every detail of that night.

All in all great video!
