With this, I just could not afford to stay on the site for long. Sites like these that require one to read through need to be plain and not exert strain to the eyes. keep it up. |

oke_chukwu: DRINK A LOT OF WATER:i don't agree with drinking of water. Since the body is too opened, and blood rushes out profusely, taking in cold substance would reduce the chances of survival, that is decreasing the temperature of the body and etc accompanied by it |
Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by chuksme(m): 6:13pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
I disagree with the writer on ([b] DRINK A LOT OF WATER: Water will help replenish your intravascular fluid lost during bleeding.) whenever any person sustains a bullet wound, never try to give such person water. Water is number one enemy to a bullet wounded person, immediately you give the person water, that is the end of his life. So never give a bullet wounded person water to drink no matter how thirsty the person is. |
Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by Dlee1(m): 6:40pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
One of the grand Ma in the village once told us that during the civil war that two brothers was shot and they were crying out for drinking water and when they were served with drinking water, they gave up a ghost without wasting time. Giving drinking water to a person that have been shot with bullet is deadly. |
Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by femliany(m): 6:52pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
Drinking water at that point, will help in bringing an end to the victim's life |
Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by emiye(m): 6:52pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
D.lee: It is not only when losing blood from bullet wound, one must not drink water. Any severe loss of blood from whatever form of accident will trigger thirst of water, but water must not be taken |

3ace: Simple, it's because it is liquid. just kidding, I get you.I know you were just joking. Actually, the blood is under pressure (the heart is like a pressure pump) as it needs that pressure to force the blood round the whole body, through the arteries. As an analogy, if you puncture a tyre using a small nail, the air just rushes out as the puncture serves as a "pressure-release" vent. I wish l can still get the picture l took, the day l nearly killed myself! I was doing DIY trying to replace the bad Washing Machine with another l just bought. (No be say l dey do Ijebu o, l just like hands-on! ) Anyway, the jagged edge of the Tiles l broke on the wall., cut the veins behind my hand, just between my fingers and my wrist (those veins that go to the fingers). I was the only one at home and l was shocked at the way my blood wash just shooting out like fountain! My initial thinking was to "not waste my blood" so l put the wound into my mouth, sucking the blood! Before l could cough, my whole mouth was full of blood. Then l decided it was too much to swallow so l got a bowl to collect more blood. The damn blood was still gushing and small bowl was almost full ...then it hit me that l was actually dying quietly, bit by bit!. I guess "survival mode" just kicked-in there and then. I located the exact point of the gash. Boy, was it was very ugly to look at?, l pressed a cloth to it but the cloth was soon soaked in blood and dripping! Fear come begin dance Azonto in my head. I imagined l would slump and die in the hallway there and one of my household members will come back in the evening and shout: Daddy where are you? (I know who that would be anyway)....and would then shout:Help! help.. after giving me a few kicks to the back thinking l was just being my usual clown and playing "dead"!) I was convinced that "life and death is premised on my stopping that blood flowing". p of I got this wide Cellotape at home (about two inches wide) and wrapped it around the palm, covering the gash. (impermeable as it were) I then used my left thumb to savagely press on the top of the vein, through the wrap of Cellotape (just a centimeter above the wound, as l could see the vein clearly). I pressed so hard the hand went numb and dead after a few minutes! The blood subsided as it just could not find any way out anymore. I held unto it and drove myself to the hospital (Thank god car was 'auto-gear' and l could do everything with one hand and one leg while still using it to press on the wound. I did not want to cause a commotion with neighbours so everything was done quietly). When l got to the hospital, they took almost one hour to attend to me. (I was just smiling to myself and thinking: Thank god you did not put your faith in these ones, you will be dead and just a lump of flesh on that slab, by now!) Okay, one very young Doctor was willing to help me attend to the wound but the Senior Nurse was just glaring at him and the Doctor confided that it was not their job to attend to such wounds and that the Nurse whose duty it was, has closed and a new one has not taken her place! Said he will be reported if he tried to help, as much as he would loved to. I am like who gives a phuck whose job it is, l just want to be attended to, before l die! Finally, one Nurse came and took a look at the wound, after asking me to remove all my "DIY bandages"! She said, there is NO BLOOD FLOWING so this does not qualify as an emergency! I told her l was lucky the blood stopped and that it is over an hour the incident happened but l want it checked out since l may have cut the vein and the hand could end up useless. She just ignored me and walked away. Well, it so happens that this "Government Hospital" was the closest to my house, about 8-10 minutes drive. I took one good look at my injury and decided that if l was till alive by now and over the last one hour, these Eediots wont make any difference. I tore-up the registration Card (which l paid for), and drove back home. I called a baby Doctor of mine to come over after explaining that l want to buy some antibiotics and need him to write a prescription for me. I took pictures of my own "Bowl of Blood" and kept it as a souvenir! So, Pressure on such wound, as told by the Poster, could me a difference between life and death. Blood means life, keep it inside and you could keep life inside. Internal bleeding is another story anyway. 6 Likes |
