Just so you know. To stop a serious nose bleed:
Sit up with a bucket under you or stand over a tub. Let your head down (not up.. up will cause you to swallow blood and you may not be able to breath as well)
squeeze the base of the nose (with a paper towel (best) plug in the bad nostril) with thumb and forefinger for ten mins. Do not let up. Spit any blood that comes in your mouth down or let it drain) Should stop it.
Luckily you usually will only bleed heavily from one nostril if it is an artery.
My father was doctor. Small town MD. He was killed in a car accident when I was 11. Anyhow as a kid I noticed he would put a kleenex over his pinky if he ever picked his nose (mornings).
Now I know why. He had seen many patients and knew the score.
Anyhow, now you know how. And so do I.
Sometimes we have to get serious
