All of a suddun he balled up his fist and hit me square in the nose. I almost hate him for that because ever since then I have had frequent and terrible nose bleeds.

I didn't want to get up and leave because I would have to walk past the whole congregation. Eventually though I was forced to get up and run to the bathroom because my mother ran out of tissues from her purse and the blood was still coming strong. It was incredibely embarassing.

My wife had that problem and the doctor numbed her nose and removed the offending blood vessel which he said she didn't need anyway. She said it was painless and I don't think she has had a nosebleed since. That was over 40 years ago, so I guess you could say it worked very well.
