Comment by Blackbox:
'A "Code Red" protocol for resuscitation of the exsanguinated patient is presented. It consists of two phases initial massive crystalloid infusion, followed by rapid access to, and infusion of, blood. It is simple and requires minimal time, equipment, personnel, or expertise. The femoral vein is the principal access site; it is cannulated percutaneously by the Seldinger technique and allows simultaneous infusion and CVP measurement.'

'To drain something of blood' - thanks for the lesson. 10

Not sure about the title...flowers don't have blood to be drained of.

All that we see or seem...Is but a dream within a dream

The more I look at this one, the more I like it. It's a shame soft focus and blur techniques are so taboo with the DPC voters. I think so many of them miss out on some great work by zipping past to the next shot and not taking a moment to ponder the expression.
