Sound Medical Advice

Title: Sound Medical Advice
Rating: G
Summary: Holmes and Watson go for a walk...
Word count: 722
Warnings: none
Author's note: written for watsons_woes  500 members party, by request of alone_dreaming  in the fic/art meme, which request was seconded by kcscribbler . Hope this suits! This was the request:
What I would love is Watson (or John) and Holmes (or Sherlock) in a situation away from medical attention where John needs to walk Sherlock through treating an injury/sickness/whatever because he's incapable of doing it himself.
**
And yes, Holmes' aunt is a nod to charleygirl , jaelijn , and Westron Wynde.
EDIT: Thanks to capt_facepalm and goldvermilion87 for reviewing the story and providing suggestions :)

I obediently shifted the handkerchief nearer his wrist and pressed down; the bleeding slowed immediately. I sighed in relief and raised my eyes to Watson's.

"Venous bleed...told you," he murmured and promptly lost consciousness once more.
