    It’s a Rescue 911 video.

    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 didn’t last long as a conscious patient anyway. I went into heart failure and, after they revived me, I fell into a coma and stayed that way for 5 days.

    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.
    Other than calling the ambulance, we didn’t know what to do. On her way to placing the call, my mom knocked over a chair, a plant and our decorative butter churn.
    I OTOH was transfixed in horror, watching more blood than I’d ever seen pour from my sister’s mouth and nose.
    To this day, I remember every detail of that night.

    At 1:34 He states that it is a decent dressing.

    Its technically a bandage. The dressing is the soft under part which is applied to the wound directly. The bandage is the part he is showing.

    May be a bit picky, but hey he has a video for “expert Village” so should be right 100% all the way through.

    All in all great video!

    They zoomed in for visual….Remember this is a deep cut or laceration not a small cut. You would want to stop the bleeding with direct pressure and elevate the arm. Prepare to take patient to medical aid.
