Can you scream if you get stabbed in the carotid artery? 12-14-2016, 03:56 AM

I'm just curious. Also, how long would you live on for if you get stabbed in the carotid artery? Is it instant?

Just an educated guess (I swear I'm not a murderer), you would probably choke/gag on all the blood and wouldn't be able to do much more than cough. Death isn't instant, but it's fairly quick and I would assume quite painful.
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

There's a couple of carotid arteries, opposite each other from right to left.
Medically, I haven't researched It, but In terms of death from a stab wound, It may depend which of the two Is affected.

you would be able to scream...
you might not be heard due to the sound being muffled vy the blood youd choke on trying to scream but you would technically be able to scream

You'd die in a few seconds and you wouldn't be able to scream once the artery was properly severed.
