Bet you wish you would have thought of this medical invention first. There’s a blood coagulant medical device called the RevMedx that is essentially an injection tube with unprimed packing peanuts. The idea is the peanuts can be injected into serious blood drenched wounds like gunshots holes, exploded contusions, ect… It’s actually quite brilliant. Just makes me feel really stupid for not getting to it first! But it makes sense because it can take less than five minutes to lose 3 liters of blood, depending on the injury.

I had thought of that Roger but could not find somebody with a gunshot wound to try it on so gave it up.

The reason its taken so long for this new wonder treatment is inventors normally try out things on themselves first ... 23 inventors have died from head gunshot wounds and all found with peanut butter next to em , nobody knew what for till the last one survived before he died ... It was on the X-Files , I saw it am sure I did

As part of the medical kit I carried tampons in it. For deep wounds you could pack one inside and the bleeding causes expansion which puts pressure on all the ruptured blood vessels and allows you to put additional pressure deep into the wound by pushing down on the base of the tampon.
Mrs GB makes fun of me because I have tampons in my rucksack as part of the basic survival kit. Admittedly I probably don't need this stuff when we go to Tescos but 'fail to plan, plan to fail'.

Of course now I do have to go into Darlo in the morning cos I just learned that the fecking Courier (yet again) has failed to deliver a printer I was supposed to be installing tomorrow morning to an office full of people because there was "nobody" there.

Was one of the first on scene to a shotgun hit on a rival drug dealer, the guy had been shot in his side with a single barrelled sawn off shotgun. Surprisingly he had managed to run away and crashed into the home of a couple who were unloading their shopping from their car. Fell down on the sitting room floor and started to bleed out on their carpet. There was a packet of sanitary towels laying amongst the shopping he had knocked over and I used them to stuff the wound with them and then ram in my fist to give him a fighting chance until the paramedics got there. Didn't know anything about AIDS in those days and often wonder if I would have done it later on in my career. The guy died a few hours later on the operating table, seems that the cardboard wadding in the shot had been deflected upwards as the shot hit the body and it tore through a lung and lacerated one of the ventricles in his heart. Surgeon told me I had done the best thing and that he been at the scene with all his team it would have still resulted in the same, I think he thought that I was upset, he didn't know that the dead guy had caused so much misery to others that I didn't really care less.

Thats feck all. I once had to use the extra large plasters in the office first aid kit for a girl who had a really nasty Paper cut. Fecking blood all over the Xerox FFS. Luckily unlike your drug dealer she pulled through.

Good job you didn't approach her with a tampon, Bazza, she'd prolly have kicked you in the goolies.
