I thought drinking water with a bullet wound kills.

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! wink

Nice points but dont you think the drinking water aspect will worsen situation on the imediate? Because your system has already been heated up, additional fluid at that point of tension will invariably cause more bleeding. My view though

Well it depends on the bullet's pathway. If it decides to pass through the 'sternal angle',between the right or esp the left 2-7 intercostal spaces anteriorly or posteriorly, or superiorly from the root of the neck to the vault of the skull then no need just clear your throat and start singing 'LORD AM COMING HOME'

I think its good to be informed. But the points raised are few and one is misleading. Pls do not drink water or eat food when shot. Jus for dat moment until the bleeding stops as water wud necessitate blood rush, water also is not blood that wud replace ur blood cells when they wash away. Pls see this link for more info http://firstaid.about.com/od/softtissueinjuries/ht/07_gunshots.htm.

He said to thrust a heated metal into the wound, didn't he? It's still the same as using a cigar. The point is killing off infections right? As for the knife only a badass gangster or a doctor would know how to do that grin

Please DO NOT DRINK WATER after being shot, or involved in any form of accident as this will DILATE your blood vessels there by increasing the flow of blood and makes you bleed profusely and of course lead to death. The aim is to stop or restrict the flow of blood, or cloth the injury.

Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by doclek(m): 4:16pm On Sep 30, 2013
Pls if u re bleeding don't take water o,especially internal bleeding(That's why u shd not give accident victims water when they cry of thirst).It's contra-indicated in bleeding cos it dilute the blood.As much as I appreciate the poster I want to warn that pple shd not post what they've not verified o,especially when it's a matter of life and death.Pls every shd take note o.I'm a medical doctor and I'm speaking authoritatively on this.

Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by Okuda(m): 4:23pm On Sep 30, 2013
[size=15pt]water is the wrongest thing to take when u have a gunshot wound. you would die quicker than u expect. imagine this: when drinking water, you heart rate increases. what does the heart do? it pumps blood, increased heart rate means pumping more blood around the body, when there is an opening on your body where more blood pumps out, what do you think would be the result [/size]

On a very serious note, this forum is a learning ground. On a matter that involves LIFE like this no body should post wht he or she is not sure of. Let's face the fact, this thread is misleading. And some people are here commending the poster. No proper resaerch. Go and comit sucide by taking water while bleeding.
Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by mecheadams: 4:48pm On Sep 30, 2013
I have been a victim if you drink water you will die immediately.....................
Re: How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until Ambulance Arrives by njcdrich: 4:50pm On Sep 30, 2013
That is good advice. Moreover, know that 'The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower, the righteous runneth into it and is save'. Pro. 18:10. And also 'He that the dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty' Psalm 91:1-2.

So make sure you are at peace with your God. Receive Jesus Christ now. Even if the bullet kills you and you will have nothing to loose since you will going to your real home.
