Tearing an artery barehanded
Hello:
I’m writing a fight scene in which the protagonist, after wounding -but not killing- an enemy in the neck with a sharp stick, comes to a close position to him, put his fingers inside the wound a tear an artery with his nails.
I read several articles about this topic (with the keywords rip, tear, throat, wound, nails, barehand), and is always a no. But the question is: can be possible IF there is a previous wound in the neck?
Thanks in advance; and please excuse my poor English.
Best regards,
JMB.
