A member asked:
Why during surgery people don't bleed the same way they do when they are stabbed or wounded?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They do: Surgery is a controlled slash wound to the abdomen when doing open surgery. If a stab wound involves major blood vessels, they can bleed profusely-known as audible bleeding. Any controlled situation is going to bleed less than an uncontrolled one, like random stab wounds.
