All Bleeding Stops
I think I can feel an epistaxis post in the works.
Before there was Bodies there was Jed Mercurio‘s cult classic Cardiac Arrest. Our mate at Movin’ Meat would agree, all bleeding stops… Eventually.
Is it just coincidence that the patient in this clip is a red-head?
[Warning: video contains lots of simulated blood and an unhappy outcome]
