Bit too much excitement for an old chap @peds.

A few seconds of WTF and panic whilst foot in pool of blood then sensible head on.

Temporary  compression on bleed(neckerchief) then hobble over to FABox.

Pressure bandage on bleed point, followed by above and below knee tourniquet . Change pressure  bandage, now blood loss down to a trickle.

Only about 4 minutes from start to finish and time to call the cavalry and my spaniel minder.

Great dried out puddles of the stuff when I got home this morning,  apparently 300 ml of the red stuff goes a long way!

Still, all cleaned up now spaniels in good hands.

Worse things happen at sea 🙂

Glad you’ve brought it under control.

Been out pricing this afternoon, got the first one, a half day, easy enough.

Second two were an absolute waste of time, I won’t bother you with the details.

Punctuated by an unscheduled crap in the woods.

Luckily I carry bogroll in the truck.

Unluckily it turned out to be one of these.

Jesus, that's a spicy enough event to be dealing with, glad you got sorted nice and quick. I drop the occasional pint for others to enjoy, but I wouldn't want to be losing anything like that amount under duress. 

 

Good thing it wasn't at sea...

 

"Sometimes that shark he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’ they all come in and… they rip you to pieces."

A great scene, worthy of a rewatch. The Doll’s eye bit is when the hairs on the back of your neck start to rise.
