Medical Breakthrough

Four mornings in a row, I was woken by my nose bleeding. Each time, I held my nose as I dressed and made ready to go to Accident and Emergency. Each time, it stopped before I needed to go.


On the afternoon of the fourth day, I decided to see if I could use Murphy’s Law to solve the problem. I went to my local sports shop and bought a swimmer’s nose clip. If Murphy’s Law failed to operate, I would be able to get dressed using both hands.


The following morning, there was no bleeding, and there has been none for several days since. Coincidence? I feel there is a rational reason for Murphy’s Law operating in this case, but I cannot quite grasp what it is.
