thats true, there was a program on in the uk called anatomy a few weeks ago. they recreated using a real corpse and fake blood how long it would take to loose enough blood from the femoral artery.

it took three minuates to bleed out enough blood to cause death after about 1-2 the person would be unconsious.

so if he got shot there it is unfortunate, but a very suseptable place..
snowblind Reviewed by snowblind on . Question For Physicians or Physicians in Training....(You Know Who You Are) This young football player Sean Taylor who was shot and killed. How common is it for someone to die of an a bleeding injury like that...considering he was in his home and was able to call and get help right away (my understanding is he wasn't alone at home). I guess my question is....should he have died in todays day and age of a leg injury or is that not uncommon? Rating: 5
