A Must Read: Learn How To Survive A Bullet Wound Until You Get Help

TAKE COVER: The first thing to do is to avoid
another taking another shot by pulling yourself up
unto a safe place.

MAKE NECESSARY ATTEMPTS TO PLACE A CALL FOR
AN AMBULANCE OR CAL FOR HELP IF POSSIBLE.
MAKE SURE YOUR AIRWAYS ARE GOING THROUGH
AND KEEP ON BREATHING.

FIGHT BLEEDING: Wounds opens up a groove or
vent for the confined blood inside your blood vessels
to make their way out and a bullet wound is not an
exception. Maybe the blood are always happy to be
free from running around your body that's why you
see them rushing out happily through your wounds.
Everything likes freedom anyway.

Stopping a bleeding bullet wound could be very
hectic depending on the dept of the bullet inside the
body. And also if the bullet has sojourned through
any main artery, organ or even the bones. An
internal bleeding is more dangerous than a external
bleeding.

But in every bullet wound your goal will be
to contrict the affected blood vessels around the
wound, and this you can do through applying either
pressure or a method called cautirizing(heating up a
metal heavilly and placing it on the wound) oh my
God this can be so painful you know? But in critical
situations like this, pain is not a factor to be added
up amoung the problems at hand.

To apply pressure, use a pad over the wound and apply
pressure directly to the wound. If you have nothing
available, even your hand or fingers can be used to
control bleeding. You can still employ other methods
of stopping bleeding which you feel can help in the
situation.

CALM YOURSELF DOWN: You have to be calm and
also stable physically, mentally spiritually and any
other ally available. Moving the affected part will
push the surrounding arteries to deploy more blood
to the wounded part, causing more bleeding. And
also, panic will increase your heartbeat, more blood
will be pumped and with the open wound serving as
a channel for the pumped blood to be deposited.
Then spiritually in the sense that, your soul need to
fight the fear of living the body, and this you can
achieve by praying to your creator.

DRINK A LOT OF WATER: Water will help replenish
your intravascular fluid lost during bleeding.
PREVENT INFECTION: When the bullet was plunging
into your body, it cannot go in there alone, it goes in
with some particles of your hair, skin and also your
clothe. All this particles, especially the skin will start
decomposition immediatly because it is dead. And
thereby setting up a breeding ground for bacterias
which will end up causing an infection if not
attended to. To prevent infection you have to keep
the wound clean by cleaning it with water and a
clean cloth. Continue doing that until the ambulance
arrives to take you to the hospital for proper
treatment and a removal of the bullet.
