Examgaistuin

A portmanteau of “examination” and “exsanguination” formerly used quite often in hospitals to determine whether or not a patient is bleeding out. This word is rarely used any longer because the time it takes to perform an examgaistuin lead to many easily preventable exsanguinations.
This is a lot of blood. Please perform an examgaistuin. I have other patients who are also bloody.
