Gunshot or other trauma preventative antibiotics

You think its a myth that if you stick a tampon in a hole it will absorb blood?.... REALLY?....... Damn, now I've heard everything.


I actually have seen one of these used for such purposes, it worked. But don't take my word for it, by all means try it out yourself and debunk that myth..... wow.

Absorbing will happen but stopping bleeding won't happen without a compression bandage.

Absorbing will happen but stopping bleeding won't happen without a compression bandage.

It absorbs and swells, and when blood can't escape, pressure increases, which can tamponade the bleeding (same idea as the compression bandage you mention). Yes, it's real, and yes, it can work. Won't work for every wound, but it's a reasonable intervention to try.

Ok, granted and yes I failed to mention I've seen that one used in conjunction with duct tape..... While it wasn't a doctor's recommended method of repair, its served the damn purpose! Shit, just tried to add a quick little thought for consideration and instead get a med lesson from DR. WULF. WTF is your problem?
