I'm curious as to why they didn't cauterize it?

[lmellick]

@Tanya7774 Some of us don't like cautery. Sometimes the cautery does damage to the tissues and occasionally the resulting scab falls off and even more bleeding occurs.

Thanks for the video. Can you explain the role of the decongestant here

[lmellick]

@glasszone33 The goal was to help stop bleeding by constricting the blood vessels.

When I'm bleeding from the nose, I'm just putting a toilet paper on my nose for not bleeding on me and that it!
