    So in a crisis or a war, the guide to stop bleeding is ‘apply pressure and call emergency services and wait’? If it’s a fucking crisis or war you might not be able to have that luxury buddy. Honestly doesn’t feel super helpful from what I’m seeing.

      How to apply a simple pressure dressing is part of the basic medical training course, which is mandatory to get a driving licence in Germany.

      Anything that such a dressing can’t stop does require professional help and will kill you, crisis or not.

        This isn’t a dressing, it’s literally saying to push down on the wound and hold yourself there until paramedics arrive.
