When do i stab myself

Three identical versions of the video were still online Thursday morning after dozens of complaints but had been prefaced by content warnings asking viewers if they wanted to proceed.

The footage, believed to be filmed at Belconnen skate park, showed young people arguing with an older, shirtless man who produced a knife and asked whether they had seen someone stab themselves. The man, who is understood to have serious mental health issues, turned his arm palm-upward, rested it flat across a railing, raised the knife and forcefully stabbed himself in the forearm with a knife, which had a blade several centimetres long.

There were shocked noises from onlookers — many of whom were laughing even though the man had injured a part of his body — and a number of them immediately started taking photos and videos. Police said posting the videos on YouTube was "completely inappropriate", and said members of the public should report such content to police and to YouTube.

A police spokesman said officers identified criminal offences on the night, but couldn't comment further because the matter was currently before the court. They urged Canberrans to instead call police when someone is threatening to self-harm or self-harming.

The footage has been online for four months and — apparently — has not garnered enough complaints about violent content to be taken offline even though it has attracted tens of thousands of viewers. One of Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull's staffers used YouTube's flagging system to report one of the videos when told about the publicly available footage on Tuesday morning. The Canberra Times flagged the videos as displaying violent, repulsive or inappropriate content more than 20 times from separate accounts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Additionally, it contacted the press offices of YouTube and owner Google to draw their attention to the video and asked how many times it had been flagged by users. If it becomes wet, blot it dry with a towel. If bleeding occurs from the wound, cover with a gauze or towel and apply firm direct pressure without letting go for 5 full minutes by the clock. This gives time for a clot to form.

If this doesn't stop bleeding, return to the hospital promptly. Most skin wounds heal within 10 days. But even with proper treatment, a wound infection may occur.

Check the wound daily for signs of infection listed below. Return to have stitches or staples removed as instructed by your healthcare provider. If surgical tape closures were used, you may remove them yourself after 10 days if they have not fallen off on their own.

Tell your doctor if you have numbness or weakness in the injured extremity that doesn't get better. Was this helpful? Yes No Tell us more. Check all that apply. Wrong topic—not what I was looking for. It was hard to understand. It didn't answer any of my questions. Wound infection was the only post-operative complication two patients. All eight patients with a negative local wound exploration were observed without complication. Seventy percent of patients were ultimately transferred to a psychiatric ward with a mean length of stay on the surgical service of 8 days.

Only one patient died during admission due to metastatic malignant disease.
