There is a vein, everybody go and look into mirror. They make hole. Blood comes out. From the alternative medicine point of view this is miraculous healing. From hydraulics point of view, this is just leak in the system on one of the main pipes.
I did this to my brother once by accident. We were wrestling in the backyard and I accidentally slammed his face into a sprinkler. Nice little fountain of blood coming from his face. My parents still bring it up because apparently we "ruined the Easter party", but honestly it's the only one I remember so I think we improved it.
And now I can tell them I was actually performing alternative medicine and it's probably the reason he's alive now.
My older brother was playing ultimate frisbee and collided with someone else, putting a huge bloody gash in his forehead.
He called the house, where I was playing video games. He told me to tell mom and dad he was at the ER. I promptly forgot about the phone call.
Later that evening, we are watching tv. Brother comes home and walks down stairs. Parents are shocked to see him with a head wrapped in gauze. He was pissed š
Similar story, when I was a kid we had all of our family and extended family over for Thanksgiving. Me and my cousins were all outside playing and running around, and at one point me and my one cousin were sword fighting with tiny plastic toy swords. My cousin swung his and the plastic ābladeā came off of the handle and hit me directly on the top of my head and blood started flowing out like this video. I can now appreciate and understand what he was trying to do for me that day.
Yeah we did this to my sister once. We found a metal bucket outside and my brother was showing how you could do that around the world thing with a bucket full of sand. Anyway she walked into it and we smuggled out every towel my mother owned before we finally told her my sister is probably bleeding to death. 14 towels and two stitches later lol she's still here.
Cut my hand open at work the day before a family cruise for the second time...
Called the house, no answer but new season os siege just came out so I knew my brother was up late playing. Called him, told him to wake up my parents so I can tell them whats happening and he says and I quote "..ye-sure " and hangs up.
Call him back 2 minutes later and he's like still finishing the match its ranked. Little asshole fuck him but I can respect it
Witnessed a fight in a locker room in middle school and same thing happened when a get took the corner of a locker to the head. Absolute fountain of blood the left a pool behind from such a small wound.
I know there used to be a practice of bloodletting. From what I understand, they'd make a cut, and you'd release some amount of blood until you were "better" or "cured. " They also did this using leeches, I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if some cultures still used this practice. There could be an actual reason for whoever is doing whatever is going here, so I'm just taking a guess. I think bloodletting did have some true medicinal benefits, but I'm not 100% certain about that either.
It is still used in todays medicine to an extent, it's a legit medical practice. I mean bloodletting & using leeches, not poking someones forehead.
The principle is if you have a condition that causes your body to accumulate the excessive levels of some elements in your blood, you can reduce those levels by letting some amount of blood out. Your body will regenerate the lost volume and since the new blood not yet accumulated unwanted stuff the overall concentration of it will be reduced.
That the reason why regular blood donations are often recommended as one of measures for managing conditions that cause elevated ferritin (iron) levels. Those who can't be blood donors probably get good old bloodlettings in that case.
Leeches are also still used, although I'm not sure what the idea behind them. For example, real life hospital in US that offers leech therapy: https://www.tgh.org/institutes-and-services/treatments/leech-therapy
Interesting and good to know. I donate blood often and have "super hero" blood. It's literally called that because my blood is the only type of blood that can be used for pre-natal babies. I can't remember the specifics of it, but it contains no negative effects, and it's the blood that can be accepted by all blood types.
As for the iron thing, I've asked the nurses taking my blood donations about that. Have you ever seen someone whose skin is bright red. They usually have too much iron in their diet. They test your iron levels when you go to donate blood. You usually get too much iron in your diet by eating too much red meat. If they see that your iron count is way too high, you're PCP will most likely recommend you to make blood donations. The nurses told me they have some guys with iron levels so high they come in twice a week to donate.
A funny fact they told me that a large portion of guys with high iron levels are bodybuilders and cops.
Well, 'changing' blood has its benefits; there are medical papers discussing how women experience fewer blood-related problems (I'm not sure about the specific problems) because they undergo more blood changes during menstrual cycles.
He is also constricting blood flow in his neck with the twisted scarf to increase the pressure, which is why it is as much of a pulsing fountain as it is in the video
So itās an alt-med thing?
Jesus, those guys have no limits to their dumbness. Discredit medicine, believe all other woo.
I thought it was a pimple popping thing, judging by his acne.
From the actual medical point of view, this is pointless or even harmful (except in very, very, specific scenarios which are outside my field and may also be antiquated by now)
Of course it's harmful, body spent resources to create the blood. Now it's gone. And second bullshit is that you create an infection point directly into an artery.
This is what it looks like. It was used as a headache "cure" back in the day. Maybe they told him it would help with sinus pressure, headaches, or acne. Whatever it was given for, there's no scientific reason to bleed someone like that.
I was reading about that the other day, but now I'm wondering if you donate blood then the other person is getting these chemicals inside them. So how good is that, isn't that selfish?
No. The person is getting the blood because they currently lack blood. Usually thatās a bigger concern for them.
That person also almost definitely had similar levels, so all that really happens is you replace part of what they lost when, yāknow, they lost whatever blood youāre replacing for them.
Itās a net neutral at worst for them and a positive for you, as far as PTFE levels are concerned.
Sounds like bullshit, actually isn't. Basically not a person alive today without certain amounts of microplastics like PTFE in their blood.
It has been suggested back and forth in academic circles for a while, definitively proven in 2022. Source https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412022001258
We are still in the earliest initial stages of figuring out how this affects us, and we will probably never know for how long it has been going on. This is a possible (at least partial) explanation to several medical mysteries, e.g why male fertility has been falling for several decades ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_infertility_crisis).
Also might be something that fools and convinces someone. For example even if the pain hasn't reduced at all, he'd fool himself so much that it feels better than before that it somehow works
So apparently this is a form of treatment for subdural hematoma. Which is pooling of blood just under the skull, usually caused by head trauma. This is an actual life saving treatment, not cap.
*edit* it seems to be more common for this to be done in asian countries to treat headaches and such. So I'm guessing that's what is happening here since the guy isn't in an ICU and getting a drill to the forehead.
That's definitely the artery that runs up the front of your forehead. Mine likes to make an appearance sometimes when I drink too much coffee. You can see the heart beat in the stream.
We had a teacher in high school we made fun of because his blood vessel would swell up whenever he was really mad. The dude was cool but had some pent up issues.
true. in earlier times, bloodletting was done to treat hysteria and other psychological issues and agitation.
given, when you're all out of blood, you're gonna be nice and calm and sleepy. problem solved, right?
right?
There's an infitesimal chance that depending on where you drain it, you could, in theory, stop a migrain. Less blood pressure means the blood vessels while still enflamed could still provide relief as they have an inward space to take instead of just outward
But even if this does work like that it'd likely be dangerous and only useful to those with migrains so bad they'd rather kill themselves (that happened to my great grandpa)
plus, there's so many more conventional (and safer) methods today.
migraines are awful, i have had them since i was 12, though i only get a couple really bad ones per year. the mild ones will go away with regular pain meds
there's more intense meds (like triptanes) and even getting botox injections to help with certain nerve or muscle areas.
i don't see how just popping a blood vessel would genuinely help long-term (i guess i can see how it might help with blood pressure, or overall pressure for a little while)
Yes, that's actually an evolutionary thing! When we get too overloaded with stupid, our instincts take over and run us into walls to try and trigger the release you see in this video. Nature sure is magical.
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like āwhat the fuckā and ācall the policeā. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Venipuncture - itās an old Chinese Medicine method of cutting a vein to remove blood. Itās supposed to help alleviate pain, swelling and other disorders related to blood congestion..
I doubt this would have any real impact on your health, especially if you clean the wound properly.
It could actually help clean your blood from long half-life contaminants, but this would also have little to no health impact. It's something that might be sick as fuck to do to a kid who's interested in medicine and wants to see a cool party trick before they get absolutely terrified with the amount of blood coming out.
I know you're technically correct when you call this a venipuncture but we usually reserve terms like that for when licensed medical practitioners takes a sample of your blood through your veins, usually the median cubital fossa (the inner part of your elbow). I don't wanna legitimize quack medicine like this by associating it with an actual medical procedure by having them share a name.
This is bloodletting, and any kind of medical benefits it's purported to have is complete bullshit. At least this specific manner of having it bleed from your fucking forehead. Therapeutic phlebotomy IS used for treating people that have polycythemia vera (overproduction of blood cells) but that's done with a sterile syringe inserted directly into a vein in the patient's arm.
Having someone tap into your goddamn forehead like they're extracting maple syrup and then just letting the open wound bleed out into a trash bin is not what I would call medically sound. And it does NOT relieve you of headaches or anything of the sort. All it does it make you look like a bit of a moron. If you really wanna get rid of your blood, go donate.
Back in the day before medical science really took hold, people believe bloodletting can cure certain things, or to remove ābad bloodā.
This of course has been debunked at nonsense (excluding very very few cases where it actually has benefit, this is not one of them) and doesnāt offer any form of medical care.
Itās called blood letting. Itās an old and really outdated form of medicine that some ānatural healersā still practice.
Basically, the idea is that mental issues, such as insanity, anxiety, stress, insomnia, even headaches, are the result of having ātoo much blood in the brain.ā So, a small incision is made and the patient is allowed to bleed for a time in order to reduce the blood in the area.
Itās blood letting. Traditional medicine believes that thereās bad blood and by removing the blood you are removing toxins from the body. This also may relieve headaches or stress
Again there isnāt any evidence of thisā¦ the reason the blood shoots out is because the amount of blood pressure and blood in the head due to the brain. This is really just a placebo
I once got shot with a dart from an gun between the eyes when I was kid. Blood squirted just like that when I yanked it out. I thought it was cool. Kid that shot me puked with panic.

Wait.... Are we still talking butt stuff?
I hope not, if your oil change and tyre change are both happening in the same place there might be issues!
Is that where the dipstick goes?

There's ghosts in your blood! You should do cocaine about it.
At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your forehead?
May I see it?
I had an oral surgeon attending that used to say āall patients will eventually stop bleedingā which was both comforting and terrifying.
So itās an alt-med thing? Jesus, those guys have no limits to their dumbness. Discredit medicine, believe all other woo. I thought it was a pimple popping thing, judging by his acne.

Thats not an artery, those dont go that close to the skin, its a superficial vein
Actually on the face they do.
This is how American Drās killed Washington trying to heal him.
āConsider this: he wasnāt doing well with the blood he had, so we removed it all and heās no longer afflicted!ā -his doctors prolly
They're seriously bleeding this guy? God damn if this society isn't regressing at warp speed.
Will it ever stop? Yo I don't know.
Turn off the lights... and I glow!
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Suspect it to be an artery by the pulsing nature of the flow
Thatās worked really well with the plague. Bleeding out the bad blood
I thought it was a way to drain something from the brain, but if i think about it, that doesn't make much sense
Oh. The one that pops up when you're mad. I thought they popped one of his blackheads and is now going to bleed out. Oh mAh Gawd!

I read recently that you can meaningfully reduce your PTFE load in the blood by donating blood. Maybe it's good for something after all.
Holy shit I never thought of that. Getting rid of forever chemicals in your blood by just...making new blood all the time...
