You are on a camping trip, and your friend Joe is starting to clean a fish that was caught for dinner. Suddenly, the knife slips and cuts Joe's left arm deeply. While the blood does not come gushing out, the blood does start to flow steadily from the wound. You are bothered a bit by the sight of it, but you know you need to help. You take a deep breath, control your emotions and go to Joe's side. What exactly do you do? Be very specific!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

wow, this is kind of gruesome. Anyway, Joe, put that knife away, Now, let's get something like a spare shirt, a cotton t-shirt would be great, and press that on the bleeding cut . Apply pressure to help form a blood clot and to slow the bleeding. Hold the shirt on Joe's arm and make sure he stays conscience. That's he's not passing out from blood loss. then ask him to hold the shirt on his arm. Next get his knife and place it on your camp fire. You are sterilizing the knife. cook the blade for about 2 minutes so it's really really hot :/ then, ask joe to move the shirt. if there is still a bit of blood, place the blunt edge of the smoking hot knife perfectly across the cut. you are sterilizing the area. This will leave a nasty scar. But Taylor Swift says that this is a good thing. :DDD I'm unsure about her logic. Anyway. next, after you've sterilized / cauterized Joe. Tell him to lie down and you'll bring water and food to him. laying down will lower his blood pressure overall and cause him to bleed less or not at all. :P the next day... ask him to go fishing. :DDD but you'll cut the fish.
