What happens if someones carotid artery got nicked, would they lose eyesight and/or become paralyzed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible death: A significant laceration of the carotid would result in impressive and massive bleeding. If not controlled,vision loss or paralysis would be the least of your worries!
