A member asked:
A friend is throwing up blood and he refuses to go to the er. he wants to wait to go to his regular dr. is that okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's dangerous: Vomiting blood is never normal. Depending on how much vomiting and how much blood there is, it could be life threatening. If vomiting blood, more blood loss is probably happening than can be seen in the vomit. Your friend needs emergency medical attention.
