When to use it
流血 has two pronunciations: liúxiě (colloquial, everyday speech) and liúxuè (formal/written, used in medical contexts). Both are correct; don't worry if you hear them swapped. The 在 before 流血 emphasizes the action is happening right now. In a real emergency, shout 救命 (jiùmìng, help!) first, then describe what happened. China's emergency number is 120 for ambulances, not 911. Most pharmacies (药店 yàodiàn) sell 创可贴 (chuāngkětiē, band-aids) over the counter.
