Blood
Like a scene from The Exorcist, I once spewed a stomach-full of blood all over a charming nurse as I came round after a major dental operation. Tell us your tales of red, red horror.

Schooldays
Coming home after School a few of us always took the shortcut across the park.
The shortcut involved climbing a tree that hung over a fence, It was fun and it also took a few minutes off the journey.
One day it had been raining and the tree was a little slippy even so most us made it across leaving Chris to climb over. Halfway across he fell and as a natural reaction grabbed for the nearest thing.
Unfortunately the nearest thing was the spike on top of the fence, it entered his arm just below the bicep and exited at his wrist tearing most of his forearm off.
As this was pre-mobile phone days we had to run nearest house for help.
When Chris got to hospital he had lost 6 pints of blood. The doctors managed to save him but it was a close call.
We didn't take the shortcut again.

Wow
That is a shitload of blood to lose - and still survive. I thought if you leaked around 4 pints (roughly 50% of the body's supply) it was all over red rover.
