Topic: Do you have a tourniquet story? Where you had to tourniquet up a wound?
+Gavin !!KyvSN1WTu — 13.5 years ago #18,763
I have one.I was running around an allotment (Public vegetable garden) and there were a load of bottles behind a shed.
I chased a frog back there and fell into the bottles.
I sliced my arm open pretty wide. So someone ripped my jumper arm off my jumper (It was thomas the tank engine)
He then tied it up around my arm with a stick, tied it until it hurt and told me to hold it.
Someone decided I didn't need to go to the hospital.
So I walked home and left a trail of blood, light headed.
I never went to the hospital so now I have huge scars on my arms from the healing.
What's your story of tourniquet damage?

My friend was into blood letting, and wanted to try it on me. She started to make a small cut, but made a huge one and the whole arm flopped open, exposing tendons. Her and everyone around me started screaming, and crying and I had to tie my own tourniquet from a towel, while I was driven to the hospital. I required internal, and outer stitches.

Not for a wound.
