Today I learned about “terminal haemorrhages”
These are a symptom of some cancers, where tumours erode major blood vessels resulting in extensive and rapid blood loss that leads to death. Estimates are unreliable but more than 1 in 10 people with advanced cancer could die this way. Guidance for the management of terminal haemorrhages suggests the use of dark sheets and towels to camouflage the extent of the blood loss. That’s it.
If you live in the UK and you think you, or someone you know, would like the choice to avoid such a fate, please consider taking this survey: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/M66AML/

Mastodon Micropub test!

Which looks correct to me…
A psychic participates in a séance where she sees a vision of a Dunwich priest hanging himself in a church cemetery, causing her to die of fright. New York City reporter Peter Bell investigates the séance and learns that the priest's suicide has somehow opened a portal to Hell and must be sealed by All Saints Day, or else the dead will overtake humanity.

This film has almost no interest in anything beyond its makeup and effects. The story would fit on a Post-It note.
Of the effects, the Rice Krispie/maggot fountain was my favourite.

Heavy emphasis needed on the “-related” part but very interesting!
