It depends on a number of factors. The most important one is probably whether or not I am directly involved in dealing with the situation. If I am called upon to perform first aid on someone, my mind is on the task at hand, and I don't react to the gore. If I am a passive observer while someone else deals with the situation, I'm much more likely to become squeamish. It is also more likely to bother me if it is my blood and if it is being spilt in large quantities. Even if I was the one dealing with the emergency, once it is all over and the patient has been transfered to the care of a hospital, I can get squeamish if there is a huge puddle of blood on the floor or something.

The sight of blood dosn't really bother me too much, as long as there are no guts involved with it.

Mostly, it's no problem. I often watch the phlebotomist draw blood from my arm. But, recently my dad told me this long story about how he cut his leg and it bled a lot and it did make me feel somewhat queasy.

Yes if it's just blood. If there's anything else involved like limbs or guts...no.

Yes. It doesn't bother me at all.
I love looking at gory medical pictures. It's one of the reasons I would have loved to have been a surgeon.

Blade and Blade II are awesome! Real blood, in front of my eyes, from a wound? Of course. Mine or someone elses. I still hate giving blood, though, because of the needle, and hey stick iit in you and just leave it there! Yuck! Youch! Ewww!

I cant stand the sight of blood unless its just a little cut. I dont watch gory movies, and I saw a lot of gory accidents on the Kenedy Express when we lived in Chicago.

Yes, usually. I'm more disgusted by the smell of meat, though.

Yes - I've never seen a really nasty accident with lots of blood but I have worked with the National Blood Service and handled blood, and also used a lot of blood in practicals at university. It doesn't bother me that much.

It depends on how severe the bleeding is, plus the nature of the bleeding. Internal bleeding tends to freak me out more than external bleeding. And it's twice as worse when bystanders go into a hysterical panic.  * surprise *

I'm sorry. The fighting in Blade is just so awesome, as is the storyline, esp. in Blade II. It was very innovative. But I can agree it's a little too bloody and gorey. I usualy think actions no big deal, but now I see why it can be.

I agree with you, the blood don't bother me as long as there's no guts or petruding bones sticking out.

If it is just a trickle of blood, no problem; however, if it is gushing out, then I can't stand to see that.

Yes, as long as its not going through a long needle!

I like blood, it looks nice and tastes a tint salty *don't ask*
