Don't Remove It! Doctor Explains Life-Saving First Aid for Impaled Objects

In a recent social media video, DoctorSood, M.D. highlighted a crucial first aid technique regarding impaled objects. He emphasizes that removing an impaled object from a penetrating injury can lead to massive blood loss. Instead, the focus should be on stabilizing the object and immediately getting the injured person to a trauma center. The doctor uses a compelling movie scene to illustrate the point. "Leaving the object in place can act as a plug, stopping the bleeding," says DoctorSood. This simple yet critical piece of advice can save lives in emergency situations, emphasizing the importance of proper first aid training and quick response times.
