@LordMordred @Will2Power @graf Do they not teach basic first aid in Canadia?
@brimshae @LordMordred @Will2Power yeah, t hey do. the point is this has soaked through the entirety of about 3 feet of toiletpaper wrapped around it and held tight above my heart. this isn't in the realm of 'basic first aid'

"about 3 feet of toiletpaper wrapped around it"
Take Clean laundry or clothes that you are willing to get bloody and ruin and wrap it around the wound instead of flimsy toilet paper then have soneone elsr drive you to an emergency room
Toilet paper will not work because it absorbs water very quickly conpared to a clean white undershirt
@graf @brimshae @LordMordred @Will2Power
If you have to then take off your own shirt to wrap around the wound if you can not access clean laundry and go to the emergency room without a shirt on driven by a friend
But clean clothes are better
Paper most likely will not work it should be cloth
