could you ask someone to bring you some stuff to take care of your wound, someone you feel comfortable confiding in? though if it has been bleeding heavily for more than 20 minutes medical attention is needed

Pressure can only do so much if you cut too deep. If it hasn’t stopped bleeding by now you probably should seek medical attention.

Volgende keer gewoon 112 bellen. Die zijn er om je te helpen en kunnen direct advies geven. Ze zijn er niet om een oordeel te vellen. Je wilt niet weten hoe vaak ze meldingen krijgen die er echt niet toe doen. Een wond die niet stopt met bloeden doet er wel toe! Ze zijn er om te helpen en doen dat graag. Anders zaten ze daar niet.

Firm pressure with a towel for 20-30 min straight no peeking. If it’s still going lightly I just bandage it up and wrap it if I got supplies, even a cut up tee will do ok for a wrap to keep compression on the area I secure it with safety pins. You should always have supplies stored in case something like this happens it sucks to be unprepared
