A medic has created a video on TikTok that shows precisely why you should not remove an impaled object from a person in a video that has been watched over six million times.
The video has been ‘liked’ almost 600k times.
In the video, the medic uses three pens to create three holes in a plastic bag filled with a red liquid.
Whilst leaving the pens in place, the medic then shows the camera both sides of the bag.
He then removes the pens, allowing the liquid to flow freely through the three holes left by the pens.

Before you go...
We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
