Anderson Cooper saves a child on Haitai

Kudos for Mr. Cooper on a brave and selfless act.

Warning disturbing images.

Now about the photos. Is it just me or are they 'shopped'?

I mean the blood just doesent look right, like its been enhanced or something.

I hate to question the credibility of Mr. Cooper (I do like him), but is it just me or does that blood look impossibly bright?

Then again I've never seen a head wound in person, but I'm fairly certain most of the blood I've seen wasn't that flashy. I mean, to me, the blood on the kid's head just looks like ketchup or something

Heres an opinion piece on the matter.

I'd like to see the pictures from something a little more mainstream. Not sure of the reputation of the site with the pictures. But I will say this; head wounds, even small ones, can bleed profusely (accounting for the amount seen). The color of the blood depends a lot on the oxygen content of the blood. The more oxygen, the brighter it is. The brain obviously requires a lot of oxygen to keep us going. That being said the color looks very vivid, almost like...paint. But like I said, if there's pictures on a mainstream site that could help support/refute the pictures.

Note: I am not a medical professional, my information is based off of what I have picked up here and there in life.

Hmm, I don't see an actual wound.

There is plenty of odd looking blood but do you see any actual injury at his skull?
Looks all a bit odd to me but I'm no medic so it doesn't mean much.
