The Diaries of an Old Hospital Janitor:

Couple of guys were out cutting wood when one cut himself with an axe.
The first guy had some duck tape so he tape the gash and they went home, that's right home, not the hospital.
So when they get home, about an hour later, the guy takes the duck tape off and the blood is rushing out like a volcano.
So the wife is panicking and calls the ambulance.
They rush the guy to the hospital and he needs two units of blood, 14 stitches, and lots of antibiotics.
The moral of this story is: The duck tape was a good idea but get to a hospital immediately, don't go home and remove the tape or bandage.
