Use powder, it helps coagulate the blood. Nothing like living and working in a war zone for months on end, teaches you a lot.

Caracta: Drink water? Where will I get water from when "Al-Shaabab" is shooting everywhere

That's why it's good to always carry water around. Never leave your house without water in your bag or pocket!

No wonder 007 de your name

I've once been shot by custom officials while trying to smuggle a car into Nigeria around 2009 and believe me,water is the last thing you should give a victim,even when they were moistening my lips with water,my mouth was so dry and it was like if i didn't drink water,I'll die but my cousins refused to give me water.

It was only a doctor in ilaro who managed to save me with some saline drips,blood transfusion even at that,it's an experience I'll not want to go through again,now no custom duty,no movement across the border.

D.lee:
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.

. After "they gave up a ghost", how many were they left with?

This idea popped into my head few days ago after i learnt about the terrorist attack at a certain mall in Kenya(Rip to the dead)

The world is evolving into a state of: "if they are not me, kill them all and let them die" That is why we have to face reality, anything can happen at anytime the world is becoming more and more devastating everyday that anybody can be in the situation at anytime. A world of brutality and wickedness.

Okay, imagine you have been shot(God forbid), congratulations you survived

and there is no help around, or not even sure if any is coming soonest. Chances of surviving a bullet wound depends on various factors.

The dept at of the wound created by the bullet.

If the bullet has came in contact with major blood vessels, Organs, and bones.

The distance from the hospital

The type of bullet

The survival hints below is bent on keeping you alive until help comes and encompasses all of this factors.

TAKE COVER:

The first thing to do is to avoid another taking another shot by pulling yourself up unto a safe place.

MAKE NECESSARY ATTEMPTS TO PLACE A CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE OR CAL FOR HELP IF POSSIBLE.

MAKE SURE YOUR AIRWAYS ARE GOING THROUGH AND KEEO ON BREATHING.

FIGHT BLEEDING:

Wounds opens up a groove or vent for the confined blood inside your blood vessels to make their way out and a bullet wound is not an exception. Maybe the blood are always happy to be free from running around your body that's why you see them rushing out happily through your wounds. Everything likes freedom anyway.

Stopping a bleeding bullet wound could be very hectic depending on the dept of the bullet inside the body. And also if the bullet has sojourned through any main artery, organ or even the bones. An internal bleeding is more dangerous than a external bleeding. But in every bullet wound your goal will be to contrict the affected blood vessels around the wound, and this you can do through applying either pressure or a method called cautirizing(heating up a metal heavilly and placing it on the wound) oh my God this can be so painful you know? But in critical situations like this, pain is not a factor to be added up amoung the problems at hand. To apply pressure, use a pad over the wound and apply pressure directly to the wound. If you have nothing available, even your hand or fingers can be used to control bleeding. You can still employ other methods of stopping bleeding which you feel can help in the situation.

CALM YOURSELF DOWN:

You have to be calm and also stable physically, mentally spiritually and any other ally available. Moving the affected part will push the surrounding arteries to deploy more blood to the wounded part, causing more bleeding. And also, panic will increase your heartbeat, more blood will be pumped and with the open wound serving as a channel for the pumped blood to be deposited. Then spiritually in the sense that, your soul need to fight the fear of living the body, and this you can achieve by praying to your creator.

DRINK A LOT OF WATER:

Water will help replenish your intravascular fluid lost during bleeding.

PREVENT INFECTION:

When the bullet was plunging into your body, it cannot in there alone, it goes in with some particles of your hair, skin and also your clothe. All this particles, especially the skin will start decomposition immediatly because it is dead. And thereby setting up a breeding ground for bacterias which will end up causing an infection if not attended to. To prevent infection you have to keep the wound clean by cleaning it with water and a clean cloth. Continue doing that until the ambulance arrives to take you to the hospital for proper treatment and a removal of the bullet.

Thanks.

THIS IS A MISLEADING POINT!!!!!!!!!1
DONT EVER TRY TO DRINK WATER IF U ARE SHOT IF U DONT WANT TO GIVE D GHOST B4 GETTING TO THE HOSPITAL DONT JUST TRY IT. YES YOU WILL B VERY THIRSTY BUT DONT TRY TO DRINK WATER. PLS JUST CONFIRM DIS POINT FROM ANY MEDICAL PRACTITIONER

i think drinking water has to do with either lysis or cardiovascular issue in relation to para n sympathetic. nervous system. Docs in the house lets research on this.

A victim is usually advised not to take water or any food, this is because a) if the person's consciousness deteriorates, he may aspirate fluids into the lungs b) the extent of injury has not been assessed, as some may require surgical intervention+general anaesthesia- also for the aspiration risk.

Useful tips......
Tnx alot.
