Hmmmmm.
 
If this person had a fracture, even dentoalveolar, what was to be gained by  
you delaying and ''really struggling'' - why not just refer the patient and 
get  specialist help? You can even see what they do!
 
First poster - This reads as thought you feel referring a patient means you  
have failed.
 
Second poster - If the wound is bleeding that much he needs specialist help  
and an operation not having stuff packed into his wounds. He is in a  hospital 
after all.
 
If you don't want specialist help with this, when do you call?
