    It probably means he’s on blood thinners. You’ll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.

    So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.

        So it was a really small one then, ok.

        So he’s probably off them to let it heal fast and back on. If it’s just a nick, a day off doesn’t sound too drastic.

          When your a 90 year old turd with a steady diet of trash, not taking blood thinners for a day might be your last day.

          Most blood thinners work for 7 days after you stop taking them because that’s how long thrombocytes live in your bloodstream.

          When your veins and arteries are lined with years’ worth of fast food grease, it could be pretty drastic actually

      My thoughts exactly. I was on them for a time and I’d bleed FOREVER if I cut myself shaving. That’s when I learned about styptic pencils and alum blocks.

      the ear is also mostly cartilage, so i wouldnt be surprised if there was a lot of blood flowing through them constantly, especially at the very top of the ear where he was grazed. Very well could still be on blood thinners, but i think i would just expect the ear to bleed pretty aggressively in some cases.
