Do you get easily freaked out? Does the sight of blood make you weak? Here are two events that recently happened in this area to make you feel queesy.

A man was climbing a tree in his front yard when he slipped. He managed to fall onto a branch below, however, a smaller branch that was sticking up entered his ass hole. The branch continued to penetrate him until it stopped just below his heart. Paramedics arrived and had to cut the branch off at the base and had to transport him like that to the hospital. No vital organs were pierced and aside from some minor damage to his intestines and his ego he was fine.

A more serious story: A kid, about 10 years old, was running down the path leading up to the gate in his front yard. The gate had pretty decorations on top in the form of sharp, pointy metal spikes. He slipped, and his head hit one of these spikes. The spike entered the fleshy part below your mouth in the concave area of the jawbone. It went right through the bottom of his mouth, through his tongue, and stopped short of going through the roof of the mouth. When the paramedics arrived at the scene, they had to use an angle grinder to cut through the metal spoke in order to transport the kid to the hospital. What made this particularly bad was the vibrations caused by the grinder caused intense pain for the kid and they had to stop every few seconds. It took over 6 minutes to finish the process.

The nastiest wound I've had to treat myself was a beer bottle smashed to someone's head causing a deep laceration and a fair bit of bleeding. The guy was holding his head with blood streaming down his arm and bits of glass was stuck in the wound. Had to wrap it up a bit, but you couldn't apply direct presssure to stop the bleeding because of the glass imbedded in the wound. As a result, we had more blood than we could adequately deal with (not too dangerous to the person because it is still only a fraction of how much one can loose before it is considered life threatening) and it frightened a lot of people. Not a pretty sight. He made a full recovery though.

Any stories you have to share?
