@Davidbirtles1 - Because if you remove the original bandage you also remove the clotting that will stop/slow the bleeding.

@matthew694u We wouldn't be able to see what he was trying to demonstrate if he left the arm elevated.

@nimanthanuprya what the fuck

[matthew694u]

I noticed the medic wasnt always elevating the arm up past the heart. Wont that cause massive blood flow if that arm is below the flow of blood

[RoyaltyindaBurgh]

He needs lotion on his elbows

@mattlencfc well you never are supposed to remove the first one that you put on,because say youve had the first one on for a while,the blood with dry makeing it hurtfull to remove and might tear off some skin,and if you have a scab under the first one,after you rip it off it will start bleeding all over agian and it might bleed worse than before,dont want that to happen
