Found this on the internet, a story of an intern in the trenches of Grady,, I 
think it can make it clear  for you:


"........When I reached in to extract the placenta, she screamed. Then the 
bleeding really got started. As I waited in growing anxiety for someone to 
respond to my pages for help, I desperately pressed down on the patient's 
uterus in an attempt to slow the bleeding. You could actually hear the blood 
pouring off the operating room table, into a bucket on the floor. There had 
been a macabre joke that had gone around during medical school - something 
like, "Audible bleeding is a bad sign."

seems to make sense,,
