Question: Why they say to put a credit card on a stabbing wound help!?
Answers:
It acts like a Melolin wound pad from a proper first aid kit!.

For a start, it spreads the pressure to stops the bleeding over a wide area!. It also spreads the existing blood out, so that it clots more readily!. Also, being smooth and plastic, the blood doesn't soak into it and get torn away from the wound, starting it bleeding again, when replaced with a proper dressing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The first thing you have to do with an open wound is to stem the bleeding!. A credit card when firmly pressed down, creates a good seal around the wound and is very effective for this!.

Imagine if you tried to use your fingers, or a jumper, the blood would just run through, that's why a cc is better (if it fits over the wound!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is an expression meaning whatever your problem is it will be cured if you go shopping and buy something for yourself!. It's a foolish, self-centered thing :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
