Ock Joo-hyun reveals wounds that bleed like a waterfall

Musical actress Ok Joo-hyun revealed the injuries she suffered during a past performance.

On the 10th, Ok Joo-hyun said, "This is a video of an injury during a performance that I mentioned on Vivo TV yesterday. (On the last day of Elisabeth Seoul's performance in 2022) I thought it would be good to share with people in the same industry about emergency treatment for sudden accidents that can happen. The video was posted with the message, “I’m uploading it.”

Previously, through the YouTube channel 'Vivo TV', Ock Joo-hyun confessed, "I felt hot blood flowing down my legs." He said, "First of all, if the accident occurred at a location lower than the heart, it is difficult to stop the bleeding, so I think this is the key. The width of the pierced wire was about 1cm and it was pierced quite deeply, so a lot of blood flowed like a waterfall. Moreover, the area was on the thigh. “Outside the widest perimeter,” he added.

Ok Joo-hyun said, "I took the picture as soon as I entered the waiting room to send it to the plastic surgeon. I was worried that the wound would not be visible, so I wiped it cleanly, raised my leg higher than my heart, and held the skin around the wound to prevent blood from flowing, and roughly measured the size of the wound. “I recommend holding something next to you to measure (I use your fingernail) and taking videos and photos (for those who can’t go to the emergency room right away). Then send them to a nearby specialist,” he explained.

Ok Joo-hyun said, "I first applied firm pressure to the upper part of the wound, closer to the heart, higher than the wound, using a cloth bandage and then adhesive muscle tape, and then sealed and covered the wound with a hard wound band. Then, I applied moderate pressure again on top of that."

In addition, "I had the inconvenience of not being able to wash the day after the performance, so I had surgery at a plastic surgery clinic the next morning. Since the area is prone to tearing and widening, the inner texture of the muscle was grabbed and stitched together once with dissolvable thread, and the surface of the skin was left at considerable intervals with thread as thick as a stapler. "4-5 needles? I removed the surface thread on the 5th day and replaced it with skin bond tape to minimize the scar. (It was the doctor's wise plan to not leave a scar where the needle passed)."

Ok Joo-hyun said, "It took a lot of troublesome effort to keep the wound from opening while I was attending local concerts, but as expected, all the good things that bothered me came together, and now the scar is in a faint line. Nice."

In addition, “I think it would be good to get the tetanus shot for the longest period of time. In the past, I only got it for a short period of time because there was no quantity available. Antibodies are not produced as soon as you get the tetanus shot, so it is important to prevent iron poison infection right away.” “I should have gotten an additional shot, but this was very difficult for my body due to the fever and body aches. Get a tetanus shot 10 years in advance. It’s available at the pediatric internal medicine department.”

Ok Joo-hyun said, "It would be nice to live without getting hurt or in pain, but that's not possible, so it's good to know. It was last fall. I'm okay now." She added, "A long time ago, in the past when I was less experienced and anxious, there were times when I was so shocked that I ended up talking gibberish on the phone. . Due to the nature of the job, these things happen a lot. 1. Is it okay to go to the emergency room and get stitches even late at night after the performance? 2. Is it okay to take a breather by self-treatment instead of going to the emergency room and go to the specialist of your choice the next day? That's the decision to make. "It seemed like the most important thing. And I really emphasized that tetanus shots are absolutely essential! I'm sure there are people who have been positively influenced by this article."
