 |
|
I've had a number of kids with nosebleeds and instead of holding their heads back and trying to stop the flow they just lean forward and let the blood drip all over the floor while they make their way to the bathroom. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that I've asked numerous people when this happens if there's bleach or something to clean up the blood and they simply hand be bathroom tissue. I just look at them like they're stupid and refuse to clean it up.
Why are Koreans so far behind when it comes to sanitation? There's little spots of blood all the floor and the kids just walk right through it. I don't wanna hear them complain of foreigners spreading disease when they leave BLOOD all the floors. |

Holding your head back is no good, it causes the blood to trickle down your throat. All you should do for a nose bleed is pinch the bridge of the nose and wait for it to stop bleeding.
Anyway why worry about Korean blood, it's so pure you could get high off the stuff ^^

I work at an elementary school in Seoul.
Last month a kid had shat all over the floor in the boy's toilet on the 3rd floor. The stench carried out into the classrooms all afternoon. After two hours of it not having been cleaned up I complained. It was finally cleaned up by the end of the day.
This wasn't some inconspicuous rabbit dropping. This was copius crapious all over the floor. |

| A high school boy was killed by a truck 2km down the road from where I live. A week later there was still a huge (like two square metre) blood stain all over the side of the road. A few drops for a nose bleed seems like nothing. |

ekul is almost spot on. Rather than the bridge of the nose, the soft part right below the bridge should be pinched, so that you are even touching the bridge of your nose.
I hate it when I see people hold their heads back. So misinformed.

Lean forward, not back. Don't try to protect a favorite shirt by leaning back. The blood needs to go somewhere and will most likely go down the throat. If the victim leans back, blood could get in the windpipe causing a blocked airway, or go into the stomach. Blood may irritate the stomach lining and cause the victim to vomit.
Pinch the victim's nose just below the bony bridge. Your fingers should be on the soft tissue as well as the bone. If there is still blood flowing, adjust your grip. There should not be visible bleeding while you are holding the nose. Blood vessels that supply the nasal membrane can be pinched against the bony bridge (the hard part) to slow blood flow and create a clot. Hold the nose for at least 5 minutes. Do not let go to check bleeding until the 5 minutes is up. |
And after the bleeding has stopped

After the Nose Bleed
1. Do not clean out the inside of your nose after the bleeding has stopped - this can dislodge clots and start the bleeding again.
2. Clean up everything else.
3. Turn on a cool vaporizer to moisten mucous membranes, which will help prevent the nosebleed from recurring.
4. Apply petroleum jelly to the inside of the lower nostril. This gives protection with moisture to the inside of the nose.
5. Avoid doing anything to cause your nose to bleed. Don't blow your nose, pick your nose, bump it, or bend over.

The number of times I've almost hit children and adults in Seoul while driving my motorcycle is scary. Many simply lack spatial awareness or neglect to look both ways before crossing the a street. |

regarding blood. there always seems to be bloodstains in hospitals here (imagine that...but no, you'd think they'd clean it up) on the beds in the emergency waiting area, the covers always look dirty and are often bloodstained. the curtains are speckled with blood. I have seen blood streaks along walls, especially near the disposal areas. I attribute this last to the fact that I have seen nurses TOSS the discarded blood removal tools in the general direction of the wastebaskets, occasionally missing. 
anyway, I have spent no time in hospitals anywhere outside of Korea, so I was wondering if this is common back in the west or would they have a lawsuit on their hands if so. |

| In the states, they will usually lean it up immediately, but if you hit up an emergency room on a Friday or Saturday night, you will get to see some gore. |

Neglecting to look both ways before crossing the street. I taught a first grade student a VERY important lesson that he will never forget not too long ago, if you catch my drift. Unpleasant. |
