I love this thread. So much real world experience.
My only real world experience, regardless of mil training, was when my mom took asprin and then cut herself on her neck somehow. Tiny cut, but pressure and bandages would not stop the bleeding over the course of The Dark Knight.
So I used some over the counter "artificial clotting agent" from CVS since it was a small cut. It worked of course, being designed for people on asprin and all. I'm pretty sure my combat gauze would have worked too, but that'd be ridiculous.
I don't think that saved her life because her life probably wasn't in any serious danger, but it's something to think about if you or others take blood thinners.
