This will sound like I'm setting up for a punchline Doc, but I remember hearing about case in the field where a medic
apparently used a tampon to plug a bullet hole before transporting and it worked a treat ...... it could just be apocryphal tale, but no reason it wouldn't work I guess ??

Effective, but sounds like BS unless the medic was female, why would a Male medic have a tampon in inventory? Democrat?
