A tip from your favorite nurse

(that’d be me)

Always have eggs in your fridge

You just never know when someone will split their head open

Or cut their finger while cooking

And so on

See that membrane there?

While the blood is gushing - hold pressure and crack open an egg

Peel that there membrane off and put it on the wound (continue holding pressure)

The membrane will harden and keep the wound closed until you can get to the ER for stitches

If you even need them that is

Nature: 1, Band aids: 0

You’re welcome.

Cool! -note to self-

huh, I wonder if this is true

That sounds like a really good way to give yourself bacterial infections from the egg… I would bet that it works for the most part… but I wouldn’t take the risk, not when pressure and gauze can do much the same thing.
