Re: Misconceptions that bug you in media

[(Anonymous)]

People with nosebleeds tilting their heads back or being advised to do so. You tilt it fucking forward, you nitwits. Not only is the error curiously omnipresent, but it makes me want to gag thinking about it. Are you a vampire? No? Tilt it forward.

I was taught as a kid to tilt it back by teachers. No idea why.

My mother did the same with me growing up. I didn't get them a lot but when I did she would go "TILT YOUR HEAD BACK AND KEEP IT THERE." I don't know how that idea started. It makes no sense.

It's common sense. Blood is coming down out of your nose, so to stop it, you tilt your head backwards. It's not correct but it is intuitive.

You're right, I can understand that. It's easy to forget the right way to do stuff when you're in the moment. :(

Makes less of a mess that way.

This is true! I just hate the feeling of it going down the back of the throat. Ugh.

The SCHOOL NURSE told me to tilt my head back (had me lie on my back, too).

I used to look after a few ladies who had frequent nosebleeds, and they would aaaalways tip their heads back. I'd explain that that results in the blood going down the throat, tip them forward, turn away to get tissues and they'd be tipped right back again. I think for some people it's just how they were taught to deal with it growing up.

sticking your finger under your nose does not stop you from sneezing, blinking does not keep you from crying and yelling at someone does not cure hiccups.

As someone who gets nosebleeds pretty frequently, this.
