I'm a bit worried because I cut my hand on a steel utensil a couple of days ago. I remember getting my last tetanus shot about 9 months ago. Do I need to get another one now?

the power of TT lasts for at least 5 years. So you just need to take one booster shot every 5 years. Nothing more than that is ever required. Just take care of the cut so that it doesn't get infected. Apply a t-bact ointment over that.

What could cause someone to pass away if they were laying on their side in the recovery position with blood that had come from their mouth and coagulated on the floor, and had a greyish skin color with a deep purple bruise on their forehead or cheek? I noticed they were told to start compressions until the ambulance arrived, but when I tried to roll them, they barely moved. I'm really concerned, and I'm trying to understand what might have happened.
Based on the description, possible causes of death could include cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, or a severe head injury, potentially caused by a fall or blunt trauma, which may have resulted in the observed bruise and stiffness in the body; other potential causes could include a pulmonary embolism, stroke, or an aneurysm, but a thorough investigation, including an autopsy and toxicology report, would be necessary to determine the exact cause of death.

I just swallowed some chicken bones by accident. It's late at night, and I don't have any bread around. I've tried eating a lot, but I've ended up vomiting five times, and it hasn't helped at all. What should I do? Is it okay to just sleep and see how I feel in the morning, or is there something I should do right now?
It's important not to wait until tomorrow. If you're still feeling discomfort after vomiting, try drinking water or warm liquids to help move the bone along. If you feel pain or difficulty swallowing, consider going to the ER to ensure it's not causing injury or blockage.
