Someone made a comment elsewhere that the next day Thomas was seen with no mummy bandages etc and looked fine/didn't have any signs of injury, so I suspect the mummy stuff was as much on behalf of opportunistic time wasting and for effect as it was to meet the guideline re blood (did the second incident draw blood? or was the bandage more time wasting and for show??), if he didn't even go to hospital to get checked for possible concussion then it's probably a good sign he wasn't anywhere near as battle scarred as the bandages made him out to be, Tards just made the most of the opportunity to wind down the clock (there wasn't that much extra time at the end considering next step for Thomas would have been to embalm him...)
