@uniporn honestly one would think both would hurt, but i have heard the styptic is "well if you thought he was yelling about being shot before, he IS going to scream REAL LOUD NOW" level ouchy.

i personally hope i never need to know!

unless the styptic they're using is cocaine, in which case, that is fine. (because that is the medical use of cocaine still: ...to stop really bad nosebleeds.) (make your own joke there)
