Rubes Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Nice story. Even better, I caught this link on that same page: Kate Upton nearly busts out of her top on movie set (Warning: possibly NSFW, but not nearly as much as I'd hoped)
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Nice story. Even better, I caught this link on that same page: Kate Upton nearly busts out of her top on movie set (Warning: possibly NSFW, but not nearly as much as I'd hoped) I saw that! I wasn't sure which one to post! Thanks... I went the good samaritan route, it was a tough choice! ;-)
Rubes Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I saw that! I wasn't sure which one to post! Thanks... I went the good samaritan route, it was a tough choice! ;-) Agree, tough one. Sorry to hijack the thread with that, but it certainly seemed warranted.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Agree, tough one. Sorry to hijack the thread with that, but it certainly seemed warranted. No prob! I saw the Upton thing and couldn't figure out how to juxtapose it into the Malkovich story... I guess the two stories are now covered! LoL...
bbb Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 The guy got 8 stitches. Claiming that John M. saved his life is being rather melodramatic.
DC Tom Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Do we REALLY know it was John Malkovich? It could have been John Cusack or even Catherine Keener... The guy got 8 stitches. Claiming that John M. saved his life is being rather melodramatic. As is claiming Malkovich is a hero for applying pressure to a wound.
bbb Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I thought about you when I saw this great tweet and article by The Onion earlier today: The Onion @TheOnion 4h Nancy Sullivan pulled an all-nighter and didn’t tell anyone | More Unsung Heroes: http://onion.com/XNIPhy
Lurker Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 http://www.foxnews.c...real-life-hero/ Sorry... Couldn't resist the play on words. ;-) Neat story. Malkovich was supposedly having a smoke, which is why he was nearby when it happened. I guess the Ohio guy's really lucky, since John apparently just took up the habit again recently: "And alas, he also recently "stupidly started to smoke again," he said. "Yeah, not terribly clever," he chuckled. "Ah, such is life. I never pretended to be clever." http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/John+Malkovich+says+Casanova+probably+prolific+predatory/8470800/story.html The fact he declined to talk to the press probably means he doesn't think it was that heroic as well...
MDH Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 The guy got 8 stitches. Claiming that John M. saved his life is being rather melodramatic. It depends, the article says the wound was in his neck. If it was one of the carotid arteries that was bleeding out even a small gash could be deadly in minutes.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 I guess he was just being himself. Ba dum! LoL...
bbb Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 It depends, the article says the wound was in his neck. If it was one of the carotid arteries that was bleeding out even a small gash could be deadly in minutes. It wasn't. Because it was the usual "just an eighth of an inch more and this could have been...." It took 300 stitches for Malarchuk.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 It wasn't. Because it was the usual "just an eighth of an inch more and this could have been...." It took 300 stitches for Malarchuk. Doesn't matter... Still has to be treated as severe bleeding. Isn't the job of a first responder bleeding first, over say not breathing? Not to say they aren't very bad, it is just one can bleed out and die quicker.
bbb Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 If you want to believe this guy would have died if not for Malkovich, go right ahead............I myself choose not to believe that an 8 stitch cut is going to kill me if not for instant help.

Dude was 77 years old. Who knows what other underlying issues he had? He got cut in the neck from a fall and hit scaffolding... Anything could have happened given the location, fall, his age, and underlying issues...
Lurker Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Dude was 77 years old. Especially if he's on blood thinners for a heart condition. If you've ever seen someone on Coumadin or Plavix get a cut, it's like the Julia Child skit on SNL...
DC Tom Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Dude was 77 years old. Who knows what other underlying issues he had? He got cut in the neck from a fall and hit scaffolding... Anything could have happened given the location, fall, his age, and underlying issues... Or if Malkovich hadn't stopped the bleeding, a bear could have wandered by, smelled blood, and mauled him. Because anything could have happened. (In other words: what a completely !@#$ing retarded line of reasoning.)
bbb Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I'm thinking land shark. They really go after the blood!
BuffaloBill Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 The guy got 8 stitches. Claiming that John M. saved his life is being rather melodramatic. Perhaps not as it was not as if he was going to stop the bleeding on his own. The guy was in a bad situation and received help. The classic Good Samaritan storyline.
