orshould i pull the knife out and walk upstairs to call the ambulance and wait for it to come? and the amulance will come in like an hour
Answer:
Not only is the knife acting as a Block to keep you from bleeding further, but the edge of it could be Barbed like a fish hook... it could also be contaminated.Some poisons and infections can only be detected by taking out brain matter... say like Rabies" so keep the knife. Apply pressure around the wound, like tying a long towel around your waist both above and below it.Should the knife fall out, which it will unless it is DESIGNED not to, apply direct pressure to the wound. For heaven's sake don't put it back in.All these people saying it won't take an ambulance an hour to arrive are yuppies... to imagine they have no idea what it's like to live more than an hour from a hospital! *rofl*
EMS shouldnt take one hour to arrive even though waiting for it to appear would seem like an eternitydont pull the knife out- its acting as a sort of blockage ( dam) to prevent hemorrhagingwhy is you nearest phone... upstairs?
It doesn't take an ambulance an hour to get to you. You leave the knife in---absolutely. If you take it out, you would bleed to death before the EMTs arrived.
NEVER . pull it out.
All I got to say is, dont you have something better to do???
Leave the knife in. The ambulance would not take an hour to get there unless you didn't specify anything. If you take the knife out you will start to bleed a lot more and thus die faster.
you should leave the knife in so that you dont bleed to death cause if you take it out youll die before the ambulance can get to you
don't take it out. go to the ER now!
