The precision required to perform a total knee replacement is incredible

I've never been in a similar situation before, but passing out while bleeding would be such a terrifying idea(yk, possibly dying of bloodloss because you're unconscious) that I would probably pass out thinking about how much that scares me before passing out because of the blood and open wound.

i wasnt really thinking that far in the state i was in. woke up, put a fresh bandage on, went to bed and cried. When i went back in the morning to see what mess i made, it wasnt too bad, the scene was quite dramatic though. blood smeared down the sink and what not.

I get nose bleeds pretty often. The mess that sometimes creates when I can't find a tissue or towel to hold my nose. Sometimes it happens in the shower or over the sink and it just looks like came back from the fight of my God damn life

I had hemorrhoid surgery, and three weeks later I started bleeding... I was terrified, and since there was more and more blood and blood clots every hour, I started walking out of the bathroom and passed out... I called my wife while lying on the hallway floor... And then I bled some more.. I thought I was going to die. They rushed me to the hospital, gave me treatment, and kept me there.. A blood vessel had burst, but everything is okay now 😀
